KNSS 307 ( theoretical perspectives in motor development)

Maturational Perspective

Motor development driven by maturation of systems
(nature)

 Specifically, the central nervous system

Minimal influence of environment

Characteristics of motor development

 Qualitative

 Discontinuous

Maturation theory

nature

informational processing theory

nuture

ecological theory

dynamical=nature
percption action= nurture

History of Maturation perspective

- 1930s: Gesell, McGraw
- Suggested invariable, genetically determined sequence of development (individuals can have unique timing)

- Research: co-twin control strategy

- McGraw (1935) associated motor behavior changes with development of the nervous system…and that advancement in the CNS triggers

appearance of a new skill

DESCRIPTIVE METHODOLOGY
IN MOTOR DEVELOPMENT

Characteristic of maturational perspective
Used from 1940s to 1970s

Normative

 Use of quantitative scores to describe children’s average

performance (e.g., Espenschade, Glassow, Rarick)

Biomechanical

 Use of biomechanical descriptions of movement patterns in

fundamental skills (e.g., Glassow, Halverson)

LONG-LASTING BELIEFS FROM MATURATION THEORY

Basic motor skills emerge automatically.
• There is no need for special training.

• Mild deprivation does not arrest development.

• The nervous system is the most important.

INFORMATION PROCESSING PERSPECTIVE

Motor development is driven by external processes
(nurture).

Basic tenet: The brain acts like a computer.

 The passive human responds to stimuli in the environment.

 Important concepts: input, encoding, processing, feedback.

A subfield (called PERCEPTUAL MOTOR LEARNING)

exists within the framework of information processing.

Early work (1960s) tried to link learning disabilities

to delayed perceptual-motor development.

ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Development is driven by the interrelationship of
individual, environment, and task (importance of

multiple systems).

The neural system is one of many responsible for

action.

There are two branches:

1. Dynamical systems

2. Perception–action

DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Theory was advocated in the early 1980s by Kugler,
Kelso, and Turvey (among others).

Body systems spontaneously self-organize (not driven

solely by CNS).

Body systems, the performer’s environment, and

task demands interact.

Some systems (rate limiters) may develop more slowly

in the young or degrade faster in the old and thus

control rate of development or change.

PERCEPTION–ACTION

Theory is based on the work of Gibson (1960s and
1970s).

Action is not only a response to a perception but

actions generate perception and the link between

them is strengthened.

Affordance is the function an environmental object

provides to an individual.

 Characteristics define objects’ meanings.

 Object functions are based on individuals’ intrinsic dimensions

(i.e., are body-scaled) rather than the object’s extrinsic,

objective dimensions.
