Assessment of human movement has a long history with many different terms used to describe movement performance and its development across time. This chapter introduces terminology applied in motor competence assessment literature to provide researchers and practitioners with important contextual information on the purpose of assessment.

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.

Inhibitory control of competing motor memories
Experimental Brain Research, 1999The 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, 2014In 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,

Basic motor competencies of fifth graders
German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research, 2017Basic motor competencies are understood as functional performance dispositions that can be learned and retained in the long term. They ensure that students are qualified to participate in the culture of sport and exercise. Support for basic motor competencies plays an important role in the school subject physical education.

Motor competence as integral to attribution of goal
Cognition, 1997In 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.

Improvement of Fine Motor Competence Competence with Activities Coloring
OPTIMA: Journal Of Guidance and Counseling, 2022Fine 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.

Rasch Partial Credit Analysis of Gross Motor Competence
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994The purpose of this study was to introduce a model for measurement of partial credit for the assessment of gross motor competence. Four different striking tasks were administered to a total of 128 children, ages 3 to 9 years, consisting of 64 boys and 64 girls. The partial scores were analyzed using the Rasch Partial Credit model.

Impaired Motor Competence in Children With Transplanted Liver
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2015AbstractObjectives: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 ...

Motor Competence and Difficulty of Self-Set Goals on Motor Learning
Journal of Motor BehaviorMotor 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 ...
