Practice guarantees improved performance

Boys and girls are more similar than different in motor skill performance.

Pedagogy, the study of teaching, applies motor behavior research.

Motor behavior research is closely related to biomechanics.

The time period is considered one of the greatest eras of interest in motor behavior

Skill acquisition, one of the five areas studies in motor control, is about learning.

The type of performance experience engaged in for the express purpose of refining motor control function to improve skill is known as

Feedback that produces the greatest improvement in performance and potential produces the greatest learning

The focus of motor behavior research today includes
