Early Motor Development
Behaviour
spontaneous movement
movements that occur w/o any stimulations
stereotypies
building blocks
similar to some voluntary movements
infantile reflexes
involuntary stereotypical responses elicited by specific external stimuli
involve a single muscle or specific group of muscles
cannot by extinguished at any one time
persistence may indicate neurological problems
purposes of reflexes
built in responses to facilitate survival
allow 'dialogue' with environment
three types
primitive
survival instincts
some go away, some stay
postural
help our body get back to EQUIL
don't typically disappear
locomotor
help certain movements happen
disappear over time
motor milestones
fundamental motor skills associated with the acquisition of later voluntary movements
building blocks
cumulative, sequential
specific movements lead to general actions
norm referenced
compare with previously established norms
criterion referenced
compare with where one is on a sequence of events
development of postural control and balance
eisenbahnscheinbewegung
the false sensation of movement when, looking out from a stationary train, you see another train depart
placed in a room where walls move
to study whether rate limiter in balance is optic flow or postural responses
vision is coupled with motor response
