How actual motor competence and perceived motor competence influence motor‐skill engagement of a novel cycling task

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2019
In early childhood, factors that contribute to motor‐skill engagement (MSE) are unknown. Our aim was to explore the relationships between actual and perceived motor competence and their influences on MSE on a balance bike (bike with no pedals). A secondary aim was to investigate whether MSE had an effect on ability on a balance bike.

Motor competence as integral to attribution of goal

Cognition, 1997
In a recent article, Gergely et al. (1995) presented some interesting data encumbered, however, by an interpretation we think the data do not support. There is, nevertheless, an interpretation they do support—one which, in our view, gives the data their interest.

Inhibitory control of competing motor memories

Experimental Brain Research, 1999
The ability to inhibit previously learned visuomotor associations is essential for efficient learning of novel behaviors. While the neural basis of the system that might control interactions between competing motor memories is not known, it has been demonstrated that animals with ventral and orbital prefrontal cortex (PFC) deficits have particular ...

Motor Competence and Physical Fitness in Adolescents

Pediatric Physical Therapy, 2014
In this study we examined the relationship between physical fitness and motor competence in adolescents aged 15 to 16 years.A sample of 94 adolescents participated in the study. To test motor competence, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 was used. Physical fitness was assessed using the following test items: standing broad jump, 20-m dash,

Impaired Motor Competence in Children With Transplanted Liver

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2015
AbstractObjectives:Although reduced cognitive function has been demonstrated after liver transplantation in children, few data are available concerning motor competence.Methods:Thirty‐five children ages 4 to 12 years were tested using Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M‐ABC) test at a median of 5.1 (3.9–6.9) years after liver transplantation ...

Competing sensory neurons and motor rhythm coordination

Neurocomputing, 2004
Abstract The marine mollusk Clione limacina has a peculiar hunting behavior characterized by a complex sequence of loops and turns. We have developed a model of the receptor network of Clione 's gravimetric organ to explain this behavior. In this paper we discuss the possible role of an activation phase lock among the statocyst receptor neurons to

Maternal Thyroid Function and Motor Competence in the Child

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1981
SUMMARYSerum thyroid hormone levels were measured in women living in an area of severe dietary iodine deficiency in a remote region of Papua New Guinea. Levels of maternal hormone were found to be related to the motor competence of the women's offspring, who were aged between six years and 11 years 10 months at the time of assessment.Motor competence ...

Motor Competence and Difficulty of Self-Set Goals on Motor Learning

Journal of Motor Behavior
Motor competence is associated with the perceived difficulty of a task. This study hypothesized that children with higher motor competence perceive certain tasks as less challenging than their peers with lower motor competence. As a result, children with higher motor competence were expected to set more ambitious goals for themselves while learning a ...

Improvement of Fine Motor Competence Competence with Activities Coloring

OPTIMA: Journal Of Guidance and Counseling, 2022
Fine motor development is very important for a child's overall development. Kindergarten-age children still often have difficulty moving their fingers for activities such as cutting, drawing, tearing, folding, arranging and filling patterns by pasting small objects.

Exploring Segmental Speed as a Measure of Motor Competence

Perceptual and Motor Skills
Background: Motor competence (MC) tests typically assess various aspects of movement, often focusing on fundamental motor skills (FMS), either from a product- or process-oriented perspective. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between product outcomes ...
