EXSS 380 quiz 1 Final Exam Questions
All Solved Correctly 2026/2027 Edition.
why is studying neuromuscular function important - Answer - important for development, why
movement changes as our body develops
- disease and disability, how we move,
- performance, how we are able to manipulate the nervous system to do things more efficiently,
more accurately, peak performance level
societal limitations of disability - Answer job loss, inability to play sports
what is disability - Answer decreased function of something
what is the abosolute root of disability problem - Answer neurophysiology, never gets
addressed in rehab bc u cant see nerves so hard to diagnose
motor control and motor learning are sub disciplines of 2 areas - Answer neurophysiology,
psychology
what is motor control - Answer HOW we put movements together, the structure to actually
create the movement
what is motor learning - Answer study of the acquisition of new skills, voluntary learning u put
in the cortex
what are 3 types of applications of motor learning (learning - how you put the motions
together) - Answer skill acquisition, skill refinement, skill reaquisition
motor skill - Answer an activity that requires voluntary movement to achieve a goal
what is skill acquisition - Answer learning something completely new, never been done before
(quick gains)
skill refinement - Answer making small changes to become better; rewiring something that
you've been doing for so long
skill reacquisition - Answer relearning a skill (common after injury)
, what is an example of skill acquisition - Answer learning how to play a musical instrument,
golf, a new language
example of skill refinement - Answer lowering golf handicap, improving free throws
example of skill reacquisition - Answer rehab, occupational therapy
what is motor development - Answer the changes in human motor behavior over the lifespan,
the processes that underlie these changes and the factors that affect them
skill acquisition, skill refinement, and skill reacquisition are all applications of what - Answer
motor learning
what is the difference between motor control, learning, and development - Answer motor
control - Study of how the neuromuscular system initiates, organizes, coordinates, and regulates
muscle activity to produce movement (how mvmt put together)
motor learning - study of acquisition of new skills
motor development - study of changes in motor behavior across lifespan
what is the neuron - Answer nerve cell; basic unit of the nervous system
what is the benefit from having billions of nerve cells - Answer lots of redundancy so that if
one cell isnt working, we can adjust
what is neuroscience - Answer explaining the ability of indiv neurons to influence behavior
what are 3 functions of the nervous system - Answer sensory, integrative, motor
what is sensory function - Answer senses change in the internal and external environment
sensory neurons start at the... - Answer RECEPTOR
what does integrative function do - Answer analyzes data, stores data, decides which stimuli
are important
