Lecture 3 Flashcards
(22 cards)
What is serial practice
Practice the same cycle repeatedly
What is blocked practice
Practicing each parts into “blocks” and then move on
What is neural plasticity
Ability to show modification/body will find ways to heal itself
What are the 6 levels of neural plasticity
Brain level
Network level
Intercellular level
Intracellular level
Biochemical level
Genetic level
What is learning
Acquisition of knowledge or ability
What is memory
Outcome of learning
Retention and storage of knowledge or ability
What is implicit memory
Operates unconsciously and automatically
What is explicit memory
Operates consciously
- thinking a little bit harder
What is short term memory
Momentary attention to something
What is long term memory
Intimately related to the process of learning
Seen as a continuum
What is habituation
Simplest form of implicit learning
Learned suppression of response to a stimuli
What is sensitization
Increased response to one stimulus that is consistently preceded by a noxious stimulus
What is associative learning
Form of implicit learning
Learn to predict relationships
Form key relationships that help us adapt actions to the environment
What is classical conditioning
Initially weak stimulus (conditioned) becomes highly effective in producing a response when it becomes associated with another stronger stimulus (unconditioned)
TIMING IS CRITICAL
What is procedural learning
Learning and execution of both motor and nondeclarative cognitive skills, especially
- occurs only when a movement performed by a learners themselves through trial-and-error practice
Declarative learning
Results in explicit knowledge
Requires conscious processes such as awareness and attention
What is the shift from implicit to explicit knowledge
After the shift, contribution of the motor cortex attenuated and other brain structures begin to assume more active role in task execution
Constant reps of a task can result in a shift from ___ to ___ memory
Explicit
Implicit
What is spontaneous recovery
Initial or early recovery; occurs independent of external interventions
What is activity induced recovery function
Improvements associated with specific activities and training
- movement based on
What is recovery
Changes in underlying neural structures occurring in the same time frame
What are the 10 principles of experience-dependent plasticity
- Use it or lose it
- Use it and improve it
- Specificity
- Reps matter
- Intensity matters
- Time matters
- Salience matters
- Age matters
- Transference
- Interference
