Constraint-Led Approach: Brymer And Renshaw

850 Words4 Pages

Based on evidence-based literature from various fields including motor development, motor control, and motor learning, Brymer and Renshaw theorize that the constraint-led perspective provides an appropriate approach to skill acquisition as this perspective acknowledges the importance of environmental dynamics. Stemming from both the ecological psychology and dynamic systems theory, the constraint-led approach is dependent upon a distinctive interaction between the individual, the task, and the environment as the approach theorizes that learning is non-linear. Therefore, when individuals directly perceive functional information from all three elements, the information ultimately guides the system to self-organize and find new movement patterns. …show more content…

The interaction among constraints is important as the manipulation of constraints force the system to adapt and self-organize to produce new movement patterns. Based on the spontaneous, yet coordinated interactions among different constraints, individuals will experience various levels of stability and instability regarding alternate levels of variability in movements as the system will attempt to effectively self-organize. In addition, Brymer and Renshaw theorize that constraint manipulation provides the opportunity for individuals to attune to key affordances that will allow the individual to achieve the task of the goal. An affordance is defined as an opportunity for action provided by the environment as affordances are meaningful, specific to the individual, and dynamic. The sensory and environmental information an individual directly perceives allow the individual to act and search for appropriate movement patterns. However, constraints both encourage and limit affordances as affordances are relational properties arising from the individual and the

Throughout this book, we can see examples of operant conditioning. This type of conditioning includes reinforcing behavior with some sort of action. Operant conditioning usually occurs in early childhood -prior to middle childhood- but can also happen later in life (Belsky, 11). This is present in multiple areas of the text. One of the first examples of operant conditioning that can be seen is when Robert is learning to swim.

Kinesthetic learning can be classified as trial and error learning; learning by performing the task. Personally, it is not until I perform the task that I gain the confidence within myself that I have actually believe that I understand. The second style is Aural, which is to listen, discuss, talk, and question. This relates to me because I want to know every piece of information that is available to me, and I want to question every aspect that I do not

Summary: Chapter 2 Chapter two dives into the concept of learning. As mentioned in the previous chapter, learning is the study of changes in behavior produced by experience, so when studying learning it is vital to examine how events in the environment change an individual’s behavior. Many scientists consider learning to be a natural phenomenon, they make their case based on four assumptions. The first assumption being that natural phenomena’s do not just happen, but instead they are caused as the result of some other event. The second assumption is that causes precede effects.

A human’s ability to adjust to environmental stimuli is the important biological process that is necessary to live. These adjustments are based entirely on one’s surroundings and how he or she has previously dealt with adjustments. Surroundings are not only environmental, such as the air, water, or a natural disaster, but can also be advertisements or stores. Humans are able to take in their surroundings and make a logical decision that will allow them to act in the proper way to their specific environment. However, if a person’s surroundings are posed, he or she will respond in a way that is logical for that environment.

Some may argue and say that situations and environments can control the individual. On one hand, this is true; however, most individuals can control themselves in the environment in most cases. This evidence supports my counterargument because an individual can control his or herself when it comes to different changes in the situation or environment. This evidence refutes the argument because an individual is in control of the situations and

Fish uses limitations and constraints in particular as a proxy for this idea. A great example is when Fish describes meaningful expression as “a product of limitations and constraints” (Fish 6). This idea is nearly identical to a sentence earlier in the essay that says, “without restriction, … there would be no restriction and no reason for asserting it” (Fish 2). In these two quotes, the words “limitation”, “restriction” and “constraints” could be swapped randomly without any damage to the idea being presented. Both of the quotes address the Fish’s first restriction idea that restrictions are internal forces that drive meaningful expression within a society or community.

Physical Development Watson (2012) defines physical development as the process that starts in human infancy and continues into late adolescent concentrating on fine and gross motor development. Fine motor development involves more finely tuned movements such as grasping, building bricks and gross motor development involves larger movements such as walking, climbing, climbing stairs and riding bicycles. In the movie “Yours, Mine and Ours”, when analysing Ethan Beardsley who is four years old, the youngest child of Frank Beardsley; a single father of eight children, Ethan’s fine motor development such as when he was using a chalk when he and Helen North’s youngest were scribbling on Frank’s “Operation Light House” board, he grasped the chalk with ease as the chalk was big. This proves he has acquired the fine motor skill of grasping.

The toy/game that I have created would be called the iPortrait, in which a parent/caregiver/teacher can purchase either one frame and interchange the portrait within, or for a classroom setting have multiple frames with many interchangeable portraits. Personally, I feel like having one frame with many interchangeable portraits that can be switched out would be sufficient; this option is also a space saver within the classroom, and could be used as a station activity. The iPortrait is used to promote a couple of concrete perceptual-motor development properties such as, experimenting “textures” (as there are a couple of objects that differ in the way they feel) which is a “sensory activity”, appropriately responding to the game, and following through with what they are called to do with hand-eye coordination (Haak), and lastly recognize what their own body is able to do, as they will be required to experiment using their left and right hand, which is assisting in developing “body awareness” (Wittmer, Peterson, and Puckett, 2017). As a note, since some child might not have both a right and left hand, there is the ability to challenge the child in another way by developing their idea of “high and low” in terms of placement, which I will explain later on.

Goldratt believes that physical restraints are easier to identify. If the time constraint is overcome by company, another constraint will appear in store. Often appear market restrictions (when there is insufficient demand for any product), this situation sometimes makes managers think that the constraint is out of their control as they are only the provider of other’s products to the direct customer. On many other occasions, the constraint is self-created by the same management through the definition of internal policies. Goldratt, "hardly find a company with a real market restriction, as all are with ruinous policies marketing restrictions” (Oglethorpe and Heron, 2013).

Consequently, students develop the ability to link movement skills to perform movement sequences. Disadvantage One disadvantage of skill theme approach is that since teachers need to observe students as to plan and design task for next relevant learning stage. It must be very time consuming to make specific and informed observation for each individual student. These assessment of skills is also dependent on fatigue and interest. For students who are observed and assessed towards the end of lesson, due to time constraint, their performance could be influenced by fatigue (Pickup & Price, 2007).

At the age of twelve-months, I was at the stage of development when walking was a natural milestone to achieve. According to Piaget, I was in the tertiary circular reaction substage of sensorimotor development, which is a time for trial-and-error experimentation (Bee et al., 2018). Walking is part of human nature and all children who develop normally will begin progress toward walking at this age, as it is part of our nature. Nurture, however, was also a factor in my personal experience of learning to walk, as it took intervention of the environment to encourage me to take my first steps. My parents coaxed me to walk toward them by holding shiny objects in my view, verbally praising and calling for me, and using gestures, which is an example of how the environment can have an effect on childhood development.

INTRODUCTION Have you ever thought on how people explain about behaviour? How do we know when learning process has occurred? Learning is permanent change that happened in the way of your behaviour acts, arises from experience one’s had gone through. This kind of learning and experience are beneficial for us to adapt with new environment or surrounding (Surbhi, 2018). The most simple form of learning is conditioning which is divided into two categories which are operant conditioning and classical conditioning.

What are the 3 stages of motor learning? Paul Fitts (1964; Fitts & Posner, 1967) has proposed three stages for the motor skill learning Cognitive stage, Associate Stage, Autonomous Stage. Motor learning is indoor processes linked with practice or experience leading to relatively constant changes in the ability for skilled behavior. When there is a complex process in the brain happens if the brain response practice or experience of a certain skill resulting in changes in the central nervous system which can make a new motor skill.
