Applying dynamic systems theory, list the components that are involved in motor skill development, then explain how these components work to develop motor skills.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. The components emphasized by dynamic systems theory are:
a) Movement capacities of the body, including coordination, flexibility, and strength
b) Brain maturation
c) Motivation
d) Opportunities to practice motor skills
2. Dynamic systems theory holds that a change in any of the above components will lead to temporary instability until the system can reorganize itself into a new system (self-organizing principle). Easier, less complex skills are combined and then recombined into more difficult skills to produce complicated motor movements.
