Which two levels involve modifying movement patterns to fit special requirements or creating new patterns?

• A. Adaptation and Origination
• B. Mechanism and Complex Overt Response
• C. Perception and Set
• D. Guided Response and Mechanism

Answer: (A)

When people move in the face of new or special demands, two ideas describe what happens to the movement pattern: adapting an existing pattern and origination of a new one. Adaptation is adjusting a movement you already know so it fits a different task, constraint, or environment. Origination goes further: when none of the known patterns suit the requirement, a person creates a brand-new movement pattern to achieve the goal. Together, these two levels capture both bending familiar skills to meet unique needs and inventing new ones when necessary. Other terms in the list relate to refining, guiding, or executing patterns that are already established, rather than changing or creating movement patterns to meet new demands.
