Answer 22

Tunes movement in response to sensory information

• Control force, timing of the movement

Question 23

What are 2 types of “TUNES” in SENSATION?

Answer 23

1. Under-responds to stimuli
2. Over-responds to stimuli

Question 24

What is a characteristic of “Under-responds to stimuli” for “TUNES” in SENSATION?

Answer 24

Question 25

What is a characteristic of "Over-responds to stimuli" for "TUNES" in SENSATION?

Answer 25

Takes off too soon --\> have no used auditory cue and have now over-responded

Question 26

What does "I" stand for SENSATION?

Answer 26

**Integrates** multi-sensory information for movement control * Need to weight the sensory stimuli to respond to the most important one * (eg. using eyes to balance and now is not watching ball as she is not using proprioception to balance) * Compensation: poor proprioception --\> use vision to compensate --\> not enough vision for catch the ball

Question 27

What are 2 types of "INTEGRATES" in SENSATION?

Answer 27

1. Under use of certain sensory information 2. Over use of certain sensory information

Question 28

What is a characteristic of "Under use of certain sensory information" for "INTEGRATES" in SENSATION?

Answer 28

Question 29

What is a characteristic of "Over use of certain sensory information" for "INTEGRATES" in SENSATION?

Answer 29

Using visual to write (where hand is in space) * Diverting focus of vision used for writing to position of hands

Question 30

What does "O" stand for SENSATION?

Answer 30

**Overrides** instances of sensory conflict

Question 31

What are 2 types of "OVERRIDES" in SENSATION?

Answer 31
