Answer 2

False

Question 3

Movement concepts are used primarily to enhance the quality in the development of a skill.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

________________ in space are the dimensional possibilities into which the body or its parts can move such as up and down,right and left,forward and backward,and clockwise and counterclockwise.

Question 5

Which of the following best identifies what movement elements that learners are focusing on in this task as being described by the teacher below? "Find a space by yourself in the boundaries of our work area.I'll know you are ready when I see you standing very still in a space where you can't touch anyone else.When I say 'go,' begin to walk around the room,trying not to come near anyone else and at the same time not leaving any empty spaces in the room.On the signal,stop very quickly right where you are.When you stop,you should not be able to touch anyone else."

A) directions and pathways
B) self-space and general space
C) levels and extensions
D) curved and straight pathways
E) force

Question 6

_______________ are the horizontal layers in space where the body or its parts are positioned or can move.

Question 7

_______________ is all the space that the body or its parts can reach without traveling away from a starting location.

Question 8

________________ is the category which includes the size of movements of the body or movement of body parts in space and the distances that body parts reach from the center of the body to carry out a movement.

Question 9

Space-awareness concepts are the foundation upon which all other movement concepts are built.

Question 10

At the utilization or proficiency levels,the ability to move to open spaces,or to throw or kick to open spaces is a key part of successful games play.

Question 11

B) Children learn clockwise and counterclockwise before the concepts of forward and backward.
C) Direction is not a function of the body's orientation in space.
D) Children initially learn the concept of directions by utilizing objects as they travel.
E) The concepts of right and left require cognitive as well as physical maturation and Children initially learn the concept of directions by utilizing objects as they travel
