Q

True or False
To get to any given point in space we need to know the pitch roll and yah of our body part and we need to know the x,y,z

Q

What are the 3 main ways the brain uses to “Solve” the Bernstein issue?

A
  1. Minimization principle
    - our systems are efficient or lazy
    - minimize energy
    - minimizing jerkiness
  2. Muscle synergies
    - brain subcontracts different circuits to put different muscle activation patterns together
  3. Use of physics
    - gravity
    - elasticity

Q

What is sensorimotor learning?

A

improvement of motor skills through practice which produced long-lasting (permanent) neural changes

Q

What is the Hierarchical learning plan?

Q

What are Fitt’s 3-stage theory of learning?

A
  1. Cognitive stage
    - learn basic procedures to be followed
  2. Associative stage
    - transition from conscious to automatic control
    - cerebellum get’s involved
    - highly error driven
  3. Autonomous stage
    - little conscious involvement at this point

Q

What happens during retention?

A
  • persistence or performance
  • demonstrates true learning of motor skills
17
Q

What happens during transfer?

A
  • performance gain in 1 task due to practice on another task
  • test of generalization
18
Q

You need how much time to consolidate information for motor skills?

19
Q

What are the 4 types of practice we have?

A
  1. Constant practice
    - single variation of a given class of tasks
  2. Variable practice
    - variation of a class pf actions are practiced
  3. Blocked practice
    - many trials on a single task
  4. Random practice
    - different tasks are mixed, allowing you to adapt to different skills
20
Q

What is an example of constant practice?

A

learning a piece of music, throwing a dart

21
Q

What is an example of variable practice?

A

playing soccer

22
Q

For schema learning which type of practice is more effective?

A

variable practice

23
Q

What are the 2 types of feedback?

A
  1. Inherent feedback
    - what you feel
    - information provided as a natural consequence of making an action
  2. Augmented feedback
    - information from a measure performance
    - typically from coaches
24
Q

Inherent feedback is also know as what?

A

intrinsic feedback

25
Augmented feedback is also know as what?
extrinsic feedback
26
What are the 2 subtypes of Augmented feedback?
(i) Knowledge or performance (ii) Knowledge of results
27
What is Knowledge or performance?
improve overall movement pattern and the quality of your actions - average feedback - faded feedback - bandwidth feedback
28
What is Knowledge or results?
improves the end point or the goal - were you successful at hitting the target or the goal
