Question

You are assessing a group of 3- to 5-year-olds on locomotor skills. One 3-year-old boy can't gallop while participating in your assessment. However, when you see him later in the day on the playground, he is galloping. What constraint is most likely influencing the motor behavior of this child?
a. individual structural.
b. environmental sociocultural.
c. environmental physical.
d. task (equipment).
e. task (rules)

Answer 1

Answer:B) environment sociocultural

Explanation:

Here Environment Sociocultural constraints are responsible for not galloping while under assessment.  

There are two types of environmental constraints which are

• Physical  

• Sociocultural

In Physical Environmental constraints we refer to gravity, surface, temperature, and weather. In this case, all these factors are the same as we are accessing a group of 3 to 5-year-old groups.

While in Sociocultural Environmental constraints there may be variations in terms of gender roles, cultural norms, expectations and beliefs of others around us. These factors might influence the boy Performance and he cannot perform well in his assessment.
