Key Concepts Flashcards
(10 cards)
motor behavior
motor response to internal and external stimuli
motor control
how the CNS integrates sensory information with previous experiences
motor learning
integration of motor control processes through practice, leading to a relatively permanent change to produce skilled movement
motor development
the change in motor skill behavior over time throughout the lifespan
sensorimotor integration
cooperation of the nervous and muscular systems in gathering and interpreting information and executing movement
muscle synergies
groups of muscles that are recruited by the CNS to provide movement
proprioception
cumulative sensory input from all mechanoreceptors that sense position and limb movements
feedback
use of sensory information and sensorimotor integration to help the HMS in motor learning
internal feedback
sensory information is used by the body to reactively monitor movement and the environment
external feedback
information provided by some external source (e.g. fitness professional, recording, mirror, etc.) to supplement the internal environment
