adaptation Flashcards
give an example of declarative/explicit memory
names, places, people
is declarative knowledge easy or hard to explain ?
is it also easy or hard to forget ?
easy to explain
easy to forget if not repeated- retention
give and example of procedural/implicit knowledge?
riding a bike
playing piano
motor control/actions
is procedural conscious or unconscious
unconscious
why is procedural tacit knowledge ?
can’t express what is learnt but can demonstrate
is procedural short or long term knowledge
long term
in the force field adaptation experiment what is observed?
when no force is applied the participant has no difficulties reaching the target
when force is applied clockwise the pp has an error to the right
they adapt to this force
when force is removed they have an error to the left due to the adaptation as brain believes it still occurs
in early exposure during the force field adaptation is the error large or small and why ?
large due to new condition and environment for the pp
haven’t adapted yet
what is the aftereffect error in the force field adaptation experiment
error in opposite direction
what happens in the washout of the post exposure force field adaptation experiment ?
gradual fast decrease of error
what type of control is dominant during the force-field experiment before adaptation ?
feedback
Unpredictable
what type of control is dominant post adaptation ?
feedforward
predictable
if a patient has no proprioception what would happen?
more errors would occur due to poor timing
what is generalisation ?
when skill is learnt the brain can use it in different scenarios
what is retrieval
brain needs to choose the skill to use depending on the scenario
