Perceptual Motor Development

1
Perceptual Motor Development

• Childhood Perception

2
Developmental Visual Qualities

• Four key components that affect movement
• 1) Visual Acuity -
• 2) Depth Perception -
• 3) Visual-Motor Coordination -
• 4) Figure-Ground Perception -

Perceptual Motor Training

• Three types of programs
• Concept Development -
• Concept Reinforcement -
• Remedial training programs -

7
Perceptual Motor Training

• What can we glean from the research?

8
Perceptual Motor Training

• Deficiencies
• Task Complexities
• Multi-modality Instruction
• Maturation and Experience
• Academic Prerequisites
• Training Improvement

9
Kinesthetic Development

• Relative positions
• Position in space
• Awareness
• Nature of objects
• Receptors

10
Kinesthetic Development

• Kinesthetic Receptors
• Muscle spindles -
• Golgi tendon organs -
• Joint Receptors - three types
• 1) Ruffini endings
• 2) Golgi-type receptors
• 3) Modified Pacinian Corpuscles

11
Kinesthetic Development

• Kinesthetic Receptors
• Vestibular semicircular canals -
• Cutaneous receptors -

12
Kinesthetic Development

• Major Aspects

13
Kinesthetic Development

• Tactile location -
• Multiple tactile points -
• Perception of objects - (Haptic perception)
• Perception of body - (Body awareness)
• Spatial orientation -
• Perception of Direction - (Laterality)
• Balance - (Balance)

14
Auditory Development

• The external ear, middle ear, and cochlea of the
  inner ear are involved in hearing
• Major Aspects
• Location -
• Perception of differences -
• Auditory figure and ground -
• Implications for Movement or Performance?
