Theories
This control system uses feedback and the control center issues information to the effectors sufficient only to initiate the movement.
What is closed loop control system?
This one-dimensional system specifies where the action begin and ends; these types of motor skills have an arbitrary beginning and end of the action.
What is continuous motor skills?
This type of measure is defined as motion without regards to force/mass.
What is kinematics?
This area of the brain is responsible for the organization of movements before they are initiated.
What is the premotor area?
This law states that reaction time increases as the number of stimulus-response choices increases.
What is Hick's Law?
This theory states the movement pattern results in the dynamic interaction between the environment, task, and person.
What is dynamic/dynamical systems theory?
This one-dimensional system describes the stability of the environmental context; these motor skills are defined by the supporting surface, objects, and/or other people stationary.
What are closed motor skills?
This reaction time situation is where there is more than one signal but only one response.
What is discrimination reaction time?
This law explains the speed-accuracy trade off .
What is Fitts Law?
Walking while carrying a glass of water is an example of this type of dual task paradigm.
What is motor-motor paradigm?
According to Motor Program based theory, this is defined as a unique set of characteristics that defines a generalized motor program and does not vary from one performance to the other.
What are invariant features?
In Gentile's taxonomy, these are features of the environment to which movements must conform to achieve the goal.
This is defined as the period of time from the "go" signal to the initiation of movement.
What is reaction time?
In the Moving Room experiment, the findings suggest infants prioritize which type of sensory information?
What is vision?
This theory states there is one central source of attention resources that compete for attention.
What is Central Resource Theory?
According to Dynamic Systems Theory, this is defined as the variables that when increased or decreased influences stability and the character of the order parameters?
What are control parameters?
In Gentile's taxonomy, this is defined as whether the regulatory conditions during performance are the same or different from one attempt to another.
What is intertrial variability?
This is defined as the period of time from the "go" signal to the termination of the movement response.
What is response time?
This type of proprioceptor detects changes in muscle length and velocity.
What are muscle spindles?
This is a characteristic of the spatial arrangement relationship between a stimulus and a response.
What is stimulus-response compatability?
Name one concept the OPTIMAL theory believes Motor Program Based Theory and Dynamic Systems Theory ignored.
What are conditions that enhance expectations for future performance?
What are variables that influence learner's autonomy?
What is an external focus of attention on the intended movement effect?
According to Gentile's taxonomy, golf shots during a round of golf would classify as what category? (name the action function and the enviornmental context)
What is stationary regulatory conditions, intertrial variability, body stability, object manipulation?
This type of brain activity measure is a neuroimaging technique that measures blood flow changes by detecting blood oxygenation levels.
What is fMRI?
This area of the cerebral cortex plays a role in modifying continuous, bilateral, multi-joint movements associated with a variable rate.
What is the supplementary motor area?
This is defined as what happens when there is an increase in alertness, there is a decrease in reaction time.
What is the warning signal effect?
