Anyone's Guess
What model is this picture of & give an example of how it is used?
stimulus ID → response selection → response execution
Information Processing Model of Motor Performance
Stimulus ID: seeing a stop light at an intersection (red)
Response Selection: based on the color of the light decide to go, slow down, or stop (stop)
Response Execution: press the brake pedal
Classify: riding an electric scooter across campus on a Monday at 10am while carrying your gym bag
Body stability, object manipulation, in-motion regulatory conditions, inter-trial variability
What are AE and VE, and what do they measure?
AE: Absolute Error measures the magnitude of error (General Accuracy)
VE: Variable Error measures the consistency of the performance
Classify: running down Guadalupe, phone in hand, trying to catch the next bus up ahead,
Body transport, object manipulation, in-motion regulatory conditions, inter-trial variability
What are the 3 things that Tactile Sensory Information provides us?
Pain, temperature, & movement
1. List the 3 types of proprioceptors
2. Define each type
3. Which serves as sensory cells as well?
1. Muscle spindles* also sensory cells - most important
2. Golgi Tendon Organs: rate of muscular tension change
3. Joint Receptors: static and dynamic position of the joint
What are the 2 components of the Diencephalon and what are their functions?
1. Thalamus: router/super computer; determines where in the brain to send incoming messages to
