I selected speed and accuracy as my topic because both abilities are critical in the majority of popular sports today and useful in many other movement-based skills. However, speed and accuracy often contradict each other, so it is hard to execute together. Most models and research papers consider those two abilities opposite and emphasizing one should result in trading off the other, and Fitts’ law explains that target size and movement distance are the factors responsible for that trade off.
Although there are apparent tradeoffs between speed and accuracy, a better understanding of both abilities and how they can Continue reading...

In developmental psychology, there has always been a question, “how do new skills come to infants and where do they come from?” Some believe that new skills develop from prior accomplishments; others feel as one skill disappears, the new one quickly appears; some others believe that the skills are based on physical similarity - where old and new skills are similar in form. However, most widely believed theory is the shared psychological function where the old and the new skills rely on the same underlying psychological mechanisms with an objective to achieve the same goals.
We have summarised below Continue reading...

From when a baby is born the process of development begins. There are many stages, all which can vary in age from child to child. A baby’s reflexes are what start this whole process off.

Primitive reflexes stem from the central nervous system. They are shown in normal infants in reaction to certain stimuli. As a child moves through normal development the frontal lobes inhibit these reflexes.

Primary reflexes develop while a foetus is still in the womb and are vital for it to survive as a newborn. Without, for example, rooting and sucking reflexes, a baby would Continue reading...

Motor control as open and closed-loop systems.

In high control, system serves as building block for many mechanical systems used today. Using the appropriate control one can design systems to perform tasks within the specified time. Motor control system consists two categories sharing some similar parts but differ in a variety of ways.
Open Loop control is the simpler of the two allowing one way flow of data and never and there is no feedback. This means that in the signal flow there is no transfer of data back to the source. The signal enters through the input stage, passes through the amplifiers to produce the Continue reading...

The brain regulates the choice of a person to be physically active. Stimuli from the environment and from the tissues excite receptors and nerves which in turn excite the muscles. The central nervous system has three general areas that are associated with the complexity of the movement and the familiarity of the various stimuli. The areas include the spinal cord which handles simple reflex actions, the lower brain which organizes more complex responses while the cerebral cortex controls the most complicated responses and stores general motor programs. The spinal cord consists of two-way tracks of nerve fibers which carries both sensory fibers as well as motor fibers between the periphery and the brain. Continual flow of afferent information from the sensory receptors to the higher levels of control is permitted by the spinal cord. The spinal cord also contains the efferent motor fibers which carry command information from the cerebrum to the periphery organs or muscles. The sensory nerves have one of its branches which end in the gray matter of the spinal cord while the other branch is carried to the higher levels.
