5. 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

6. 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
