Conceptions of Ability Affect Motor Learning

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2009
The authors examined the effects of induced conceptions of ability on motor learning. Participants in 3 groups practiced a balance task after receiving instructions suggesting that the task would reflect an inherent ability (IA group), represent an acquirable skill (AS group), or no ability-related instructions (control group).

Structure of Motor Abilities in Children

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Theoretical and empirical studies in motor abilities were synthesized to construct an extensive range of tests items with auxiliary apparatus. These items were administered to 765 children between ages 4 1/2 and 14 1/2 yr. Results indicate that motor proficiency can be assessed safely and reliably in one testing period.

Exploring the General Motor Ability Construct

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2011
Malaysian students ages 12 to 15 years ( N = 330; 165 girls, 165 boys) took the Australian Institute of Sport Talent Identification Test (AIST) and the Balance and Movement Coordination Test (BMC), developed specifically to identify sport talent in Malaysian adolescents.

Measuring Motor Rhythmic Ability in Children

Research Quarterly. American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1976
Abstract Methods of determining gross motor rhythmic ability were studied in subjects (N=44) 5 yr of age. Using a rhythmic ability analysis system subjects performed 8 trials in each of 3 stimulus modalities, audio, visual, and audio-visual. The time-space response characteristics were also observed as a function of sex and the externally paced or self-

Perceptual-Motor Ability and Intellectual Ability of Kindergarten Age Children

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1973
Scores on the Kuhlmann-Anderson, Herndon's adaptation of the Figure Reproduction Test, and the Pearman revision of the Lincoln-Oseretsky test for 24 boys and 22 girls of kindergarten age suggested intelligence is not strongly related to perceptual-motor skill and low Herndon performance is associated with poor cognitive functioning.

Fine Motor Abilities of Infants

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1974
SUMMARYThirty‐six infants (26 full‐term and 10 pre‐term) were classified at eight months of age on the basis of their demonstrating co‐ordinated fine motor ability or clumsiness. Comparisons were made of the duration and frequency of commonly observed behaviors (e.g. reaching for objects) exhibited by the infants in each group.

Ability Factors in Motor Learning

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
Research dealing with the role of basic ability factors in motor learning has been characterized by an ever increasing realization of the high degree of task specificity associated with the acquisition of motor skills. Although various theoretical arguments have been offered to account for the changing factor structure of abilities which apparently ...

Mental Ability, Reaction Time, Perceptual Motor and Motor Abilities in Handicapped Children

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1969
54 outpatient children of a mental retardation facility were administered tests of reaction time and simple and complex motor skills. The relationship between reaction time and mental age was eliminated when the complex, but not the simple, motor skills were held constant.

Cognitive and motor abilities in preschool hydrocephalics

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 1991
The neuropsychological performance of three groups of preschool children was evaluated: (a) one with hydrocephalus associated with myelomeningocele; (b) one with hydrocephalus associated with intraventricular hemorrhage and very low birth weight; and (c) a nonhydrocephalic normal comparison group.

Children with low motor ability have lower visual-motor integration ability but unaffected perceptual skills

Human Movement Science, 2004
The purpose of this study was to examine perceptual, visual-motor abilities and intellectual skills in children with low, average and above average motor abilities. The participants were 144 children (aged 6-10 years) attending elementary school. Three groups of children were identified on the basis of their performance at the TGMD (Test of Gross Motor
