Description

C What is electromyography? A) the finding that only practice conditions similar to game performance will benefit future game performance B) a movement task with which the subject does not have prior experience C) a system for monitoring and recording the electrical activity in muscles D) a cognitive mechanism that controls movement FALSE Practice guarantees improved performance. A) True B) False D This time period is considered one of the greatest eras of interest in motor behavior. A) the Golden Age of Sports (1920s) B) the Cold War (1940-1990s) C) the Vietnamese War (1959-1975) D) World War II (1939-1945) B Who wrote the first major theoretical paper from the discipline of kinesiology on what was known as the memory drum theory? A) Shirl Hoffman B) Franklin Henry C) George Stelmach D) Richard Schmidt D The principle that practice should match the performance environment for maximal improvement is A) fastest acquisition B) practice enhancement C) quality of practice D) specificity of practice C The type of performance experience engaged in for the express purpose of refining motor control function to improve skill is known as A) training B) skill C) practice D) learning

D Which of the following is most critical in helping students develop skills? A) adequate instruction B) ample practice opportunities C) specific feedback D) ample appropriate practice opportunities C Which experimental design compares two groups (randomly formed) on the same task (movement speed)? A) experiment design B) within-group design C) between-group design D) research design A The focus of motor behavior research today includes A) potential treatments of disease and injury, including Parkinson's disease B) cognition and memory C) shattering the myth that motor control diminishes with age D) elite performance A Research on motor expertise often compares __________ to determine how they differ within various sports. A) novices and experts B) experience and age C) skills and performance D) motor learning and motor control FALSE Motor programs store exact instructions in the muscles for each possible movement. A) True B) False A Which of the following best exemplifies the concept of training? A) increases ability to produce greater quantities of physical activity B) increases capacity for organizing movement patterns in complex ways to accomplish specific goals C) is a cognitive process that leads to a reorganization of the nervous system D) leads to relatively permanent changes B

Feedback that produces the greatest improvement in performance and potentially produces the greatest learning A) is knowledge of results B) varies depending on the expertise of the performer C) is intrinsic; extrinsic feedback does little to improve performance D) is given after every performance of a skill C What type of researcher studies differences in growth patterns in children ages 2 to 12 years? A) motor behavior expert B) motor control expert C) motor development expert D) motor learning expert...
