Kinaesthetics (or kinesthetics, in American English) is the study of body motion, and of the perception (both conscious and unconscious) of one's own body motions. [1] Kinesthesis is the learning of movements that an individual commonly performs. [2] The individual must repeat the motions that they are trying to learn and perfect many times for ...
Kinesthetic learning (American English), kinaesthetic learning (British English), or tactile learning is learning that involves physical activity. As cited by Favre (2009), Dunn and Dunn define kinesthetic learners as students who prefer whole-body movement to process new and difficult information. [1] However, scientific studies do not support ...
Kinesics. Kinesics is the interpretation of body communication such as facial expressions and gestures, nonverbal behavior related to movement of any part of the body or the body as a whole. The equivalent popular culture term is body language, a term Ray Birdwhistell, considered the founder of this area of study, [1] neither used nor liked (on ...
Schematics and images of types of limb proprioceptor neurons in mammals (top) and insects (bottom) [1] Proprioception (/ ˌproʊpri.oʊˈsɛpʃən, - ə -/ [2][3] PROH-pree-oh-SEP-shən, -ə-) is the sense of self-movement, force, and body position. [1][4] Proprioception is mediated by proprioceptors, sensory receptors, located within ...
Representational systems (NLP) Representational systems (also abbreviated to VAKOG[1]) is a postulated model from neuro-linguistic programming, [2] a collection of models and methods regarding how the human mind processes and stores information. The central idea of this model is that experience is represented in the mind in sensorial terms, i.e ...
Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία -logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement. Applications of kinesiology to human health include ...
In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. [1][2][3] Since the mid-20th century, the term "dynamics" (or "analytical dynamics") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [4] though the term is ...
Kinetic art is art from any medium that contains movement perceivable by the viewer or that depends on motion for its effects. Canvas paintings that extend the viewer's perspective of the artwork and incorporate multidimensional movement are the earliest examples of kinetic art. [1]
