Motor Control
|April 12, 2023
Summary
This review critically evaluates motor creativity measurement methods. Current tests often lack task specificity and environmental dynamism, potentially hindering creative motor actions.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Motor Control
- Psychology
Background:
- Motor creativity is crucial for adaptable and innovative movement.
- Existing measurement tools for motor creativity vary widely in approach.
- A contemporary understanding necessitates evaluating these methods critically.
Conclusions:
- Current motor creativity assessments often lack adequate task specificity.
- Environmental dynamism is insufficiently represented in most existing measurement protocols.
- These limitations may impede the accurate assessment of emergent creative motor behaviors.

Cognitive Learning
461
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Hierarchy of Motor Control
3.0K
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.
