Exam 2 Flashcards
Schemas
rules governing motor performance
Generalized Motor Programs
a program that produces flexible and novel movements in various demensions
2 Types of Errors
technical or tactical error
Technical Error
error in performing the desired skill
Tactical Error
execute correctly but at wrong time or in the wrong environment
2 Types of Memory
recall memory or recognition
Recall Memory
responsible for generation of the impulses to the muscles that carry out the movements
Recognition Memory
responsible for the evaluation of the response
2 Types of Schemas
recall or recognition
Recall Schema
is a set of rules that selects parameter values for specific movement and initiates the goal-directed performance
2 Aspects to Practice
number of trials and variability of practice
Number of Trials
lots of practice
Variability of Practice
for open and changing environments
Recognition Schema
is a set of rules used to assess and compare outcome with parameters selected, using sensory information to store future corrections
Efference Copy of Errors
copy of motor responses in the CNS
All Motor Skills Are Comprised of 4 Actions
- Response Specifications
- Initial Conditions
- Actual Outcomes
- Sensory Consequences
Response Specifications
what one needs to do to perform the actual movement
Initial Conditions
location in space, environmental state
Actual Outcomes
knowledge of results
Sensory Consequences
