Motor Skill Acquisition for Optimal Occupational Performance

---

1.  Movement is ___________________. An emergent process Hierarchical and system-based Task-oriented approach (evidence-based) All of the above

2.  Dynamic systems theory: Regulates change in the behavior of the entire system Suggests a new movement emerges due to a critical change in one of the systems Is a solution for each specific task None of the above

3.  It is important to understand how to train or retrain motor skills because: It decreases frustration during motor tasks It optimizes occupational performance rather than just task-practice It generalizes skills All of the above

4.  What are the three aspects of the dynamic systems theory for motor learning? Task, environment, person Motor skills, feedback, practice Timing, coordination, person None of the above

5.  Which of the following best describe the behaviors of the associative phase of learning? Learning an association between two stimuli Strength or probability of a response diminishes when the stimulus is repeated Progressive amplification of a response follows repeated administrations of a stimulus Learning/tasks that can be performed without attention or conscious thought (habits)

6.  Declarative learning is: Learning/tasks that can be performed without attention or conscious thought (habits) Learning an association between two stimuli Knowledge that can be consciously recalled requiring awareness, attention, and reflection Progressive amplification of a response follows repeated administrations of a stimulus

7.  Within the environment, regulatory aspects include: Low levels of cognitive interference Rote learning of motor skills All aspects for successful performance of the task Aspects not integral for performance of the task, but can be distracting

8.  Other things to consider with motor skills evaluation include all of the following EXCEPT: Strength Motivation Balance reactions Sensory processing

9.  A functional motor skill acquisition is when: The child is able to perform the motor task and the environment supports task performance Task requirements are within the child's abilities with or without environmental support The individual, task, and environment match All of the above

10.  Intrinsic feedback: Comes to the individual from various sensory systems and is internal Is external to the individual Occurs during and/or after the task None of the above
