Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

6.7K
The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

Fixed Action Patterns

18.1K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

1.2K
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Area of Science:

  • Motor Learning
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Special Education

Background:

  • Overhand throwing is a fundamental gross motor skill.
  • Children with intellectual disability (ID) often exhibit motor skill deficits.
  • Error-reduced learning strategies may enhance motor skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of error-reduced (ER) versus error-strewn (ES) learning conditions on overhand throwing.
  • To examine motor skill components and mastery in typically developing (TD) children and those with ID.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary data analysis of two child samples (TD and ID) practicing overhand throwing.
  • Utilized an ER or ES learning condition.
  • Assessed movement pattern components using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2.

Main Results:

  • TD children in ER condition improved follow-through; ES learners did not.
  • Children with ID in ER condition showed greater improvements in hip/shoulder rotation and follow-through compared to ES learners.
  • ER learning led to a higher percentage of participants achieving mastery.

Conclusions:

  • Error-reduced learning promotes the development of the follow-through component in overhand throwing, particularly beneficial for children with disabilities.
  • This learning approach facilitates overall skill mastery in children.
