2.Behavioral characteristics of specific limbs or a combination of limbs a.Action b.Skill c.Motor Skill d.Movement 71%

3. Which error score tells you the average distance of your throws from the target (without informing you of the direction of error) a.Constant error b.Root mean square error c.Variable error d.Absolute error 80%

4. The four scores in diagram “A” are distributed so that constant error is a.Smaller than absolute error b.Larger than absolute error c.The same as absolute error Target Undershoot Overshoot A Target Undershoot Overshoot B 75%

5. Compare A to B: You should see that B has smaller (better)… a.Variable error than A b.Constant error than A c.Absolute error than A Target Undershoot Overshoot A Target Undershoot Overshoot B 70%

6. Compare A to B: You should also see that B has larger (worse)… a.Absolute and variable error than A b.Absolute and constant error than A c.Variable and constant error than A Target Undershoot Overshoot A Target Undershoot Overshoot B 70%

7.…to make the constant error of the two throws as small as possible? a.Six inches below the bull’s eye b.Six inches above the bull’s eye c.The bulls eye d.None of the above 80%

8.…to make the absolute error of the two throws as small as possible? a.Six inches below the bull’s eye b.Six inches above the bull’s eye c.The bulls eye d.None of the above 80%

9.Which joint shows the greatest range of motion? a.Cannot tell from the diagram b.Elbow c.Knee d.Both about the same %

10.Between points (3) and (4), what movement is occurring the most? a.Elbow extension b.Knee Flexion c.Knee extension d.Elbow flexion %

11. Between points (2) and (3), what is the best (i.e. most true, best fit, that sort of thing) description of what is occurring? a.Both joints extend briefly, then it’s mostly elbow flexion for a bit, then mostly knee extension for a bit, then both are extending when it reaches point 3. b.Both joints flex briefly, then it’s mostly knee flexion for a bit, then mostly elbow extension for a bit, then both are extending when it reaches point 3. c.Both joints flex briefly, then it’s mostly elbow flexion for a bit, then mostly knee extension for a bit, then both are extending when it reaches point 3. d.Both joints flex briefly, then it’s mostly elbow flexion for a bit, then mostly knee extension for a bit, then both are flexing when it reaches point 3. e.Both joints extend briefly, then it’s mostly elbow extension for a bit, then mostly knee flexion for a bit, then both are extending when it reaches point %

12. Based on the text’s definition of motor abilities, if a person has good manual dexterity (one of Fleishman’s perceptual motor abilities), we should a.Suspect the person is probably an all- around athlete b.Know the person will also have good multi- limb coordination c.Know the person will have adequate multi- limb coordination d.Not infer anything about the person's multi-limb coordination 84%

13. What is the best description of Bloom's notion of how or where talent develops? a.Great kids become great adults b.Take an inherent genius, give them 10 years practice, and there they are c.Through exceptional mentorship and supportive environments d.Each showed special promise in their specialist field and used that as the foundation for later achievement 78%

14. What would be the best distinguishing feature between the view expressed in the new scientist paper and that forwarded in class during the end of the slides on chapter 3? a.while the article recognizes that some geniuses are born, the lecture in class denies this completely b.while the article emphasizes the importance of 10 years practice of a skill needed to become expert at it, the lecture suggested this was not so important c.while the article acknowledges the existence of some inherent abilities like hand-eye coordination, the lecture questioned even those d.there were no distinguishing features. The arguments were perfectly aligned 78%

15. Within the class lecture at the end of the abilities section, what was suggested as the best way to instill habits of greater physical activity in people? a.Ensuring competence in all physical activities at an early age, so that children would continue to seek such activities out as they grow b.Educating people about the dangers of physical inactivity c.Educating people about the dangers of physical inactivity and a poor diet d.Moving from “doing” physical activity to “living” it 80%
