My Mountain of Motor Development

Thank You!

Reflexive Period

At the base of this mountain we begin with the reflexive period, which consists of two general categories, which are reflexive and spontaneous.

Topic 1

Reflexive movements are adaptive movements mainly for survival and consist of movements such as

  • grasping
  • sucking
  • startling
  • tonic neck reflex

Spontaneous movements are another instinctive movement that are triggered from a stimulus to the 5 senses such as

  • sight
  • taste
  • hearing
  • smell
  • touch

Reflexive period

(2 weeks old)

Topic 2

According to my parents...

I would spontaneously kick my legs and retract my arms

whenever there was a loud noise I would reflexively get startled very easily

Preadapted period

Topic 3

moving on to the next level of the mountain we enter the preadapted period. during this period we start to become more independent in our movements, such as

  • rolling over
  • beginning to stand
  • beginning to self feed using our hands

preadapted period

(1 year of age )

Topic 4

At this stage of my life my movement behavior is no longer reflexive, and I have consciously attained self-feeding. However my eye hand coordination Is not yet developed enough to smoothly transfer the food from the bowl into my mouth

Fundamental motor patterns

Title

moving towards the middle of the mountain we arrive at the fundamental motor patterns. This is where we begin our foundation for basic motor skills, where we can later build on . These skills involve basic body movements such as

  • walking
  • running
  • jumping
  • skipping
  • eye hand coordination

Fundamental motor patterns ( 5 years)

Title

at this stage in my life I have begun developing my motor skills by

  • increasing eye hand coordination with video games
  • learning how to ride a bike

Context specific motor skills

Title

for this part of the mountain I focus on building on the fundamental skills I learned and applying them to specific sports or other movements.

Context Specific Motor Skills (9 years old)

Title

during this time I have begun applying my fundamental movements to a variety of different sports influenced by what my siblings participated in, however I took an interest in martial arts, and decided to stick with that and improve my skills.

Skillful period

Title

at long last we have reached the peak of the mountain! where the skills are...

  • efficient
  • skillful
  • voluntary

Skillful Period: Martial arts (16 years old)

Title

over the years I became very skilled in martial arts, participating in various competitions and earning my 3rd degree black belt. I used eye hand coordination when placing precise kicks. when doing a jump kick I am basing this skill on my basic motor pattern of running and jumping.
