Exam 3: Motor Abilities

The ability to visually follow a moving object is called ________.

In addition to identifying perceptual-motor abilities, Fleishman also identified __________ abilities.

In Fleishman's taxonomy, the ability to rapidly and accurately move the hand to a small target is known as finger dexterity.

The ability to make skillful hand movements to manipulate objects is known as:

The ability to coordinate the movement of a number of limbs simultaneously is known as ________.

To develop his taxonomy of human perceptual-motor abilities, Fleishman:

A task analysis is an essential part of identifying the motor abilities that underlie the performance of any motor skill.

Research showing the low correlation between reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT) supports the general motor ability hypothesis.

The hypothesis that proposes the many motor abilities that characterize people are highly related to each other is known as the _______ motor ability hypothesis.

The type of timing used by dancers to maintain a specific rhythm and tempo when no music is playing is called _______ timing.

Rather than differing in terms of having or not having certain abilities, people differ in the ________ of each of the various identifiable abilities.

The ability to make skillful, well-directed arm-hand movements that involve manipulating objects rather quickly is known as ________.

Visual acuity is one of the perceptual-motor abilities that Fleishman did not include in his taxonomy.

The term ability refers to:

Compared to static balance, dynamic balance:

The general motor ability hypothesis proposes that individuals have:

The terms ability and skill should be considered synonymous.

Timing as an ability is typically specific to the requirements of the skill being performed.

Research suggests that reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT) are:

Research suggests that the ability to precisely time movements is:
