My Mountain of Motor Development

Taylor Smith

Skillful Period

11+ years

Movements during this period are voluntary, efficient, adaptive, and consistent.

Compensation Period

Context-Specific Period

Not necessarily age dependent

7-11 years

  • This period is where a skilled individual is compensating for a change due to organism constraints
  • Motor skill performance shows a decline from the previous level of skillfulness
  • Injury-induced compensation is where there is change in organism constraints due to an injury
  • Age-associated compensation is where changes in organism constraints are associated with the process of aging
  • This ontogenetic stage is promoted by ones culture, family, and friends
  • Acquisition of these skills are dependent on context-based knowledge and experiences, fine and gross motor skills, and practice and instruction become important mediators

Fundamental Motor Patterns Period

1-7 years

  • This period is a phylogenetic stage where the building blocks are acquired for late context-specific skills
  • Some of the building blocks include fundamental locomotor patterns, interactive coordination patterns, and fundamental fine motor manipulative patterns
  • This period ends with being able to apply fundamental motor patterns to a specific context

Preadapted Period

2 weeks post birth-1 year

  • This period, which consists of phylogenetic movements, is where the reflexive movements become voluntary
  • Environmental constraints play a very small role and biological constraints play a very important role
  • This period ends with the attainment of independent walking and self-feeding

Mountain of Motor Development

Reflexive Period

3rd gestational month-2 weeks post birth

  • Consists of spontaneous & reflexive movements
  • Reflexes are primitive patterns of coordination and are important because they are needed for survival and opening a dialogue with the environment
  • Some reflexes include rooting, sucking, plamar & plantar grasp, and moro
