Newell’s model of constraint 3 types of constraint Individual Within the body: structural (height, weight, etc), functional (attention, motivation, etc.) The way you are born, genetics, etc ex. My sister is tall because my dad is tall Task Constraints External to the body Related to the task: Goal, rules, equipment Available opportunities, equipment ex. Living oversease, no exposure to American football  no brothers playing football Environmental Constraints Outside of the body Global, not task specific, physical, sociocultural Where you grew up: ex mom on a farm, me in a country that did not exactly support equal rights for women

Nature vs nurture Nature: genetic Nurture: experience in the environment Three perspectives Maturational perspective: environment little influence, genetics responsible for motor development Information processing perspective: respond to stimuli in environment Thinking, analysis of stimuli, situational modification, obstacle evaluation Ecological perspective: relationship of environment and tasks Dynamic systems: body systems, performers environment and task demands interact Perception-Action: function an environmental object provides
