KPE160 Exam Questions And 100% Correct Answers
fMRI
measures and looks at blood oxygen level dependent signals
Electroencephalography (EEG)
recording of the electrical activity of the brain- continuous measurement
Past
agonist muscle
prime mover vs antagonist muscle
Triphasic Muscle Pattern
supporting vs synergist muscles
early stages
cognitive (getting an idea of movement)
middle stages
forming an efficient movement plan
late stages
autonomous, fixation/diversification
skill
the ability to bring about some end result with maximum certainty and efficient use of
energy and/or time
capacity
an individual's ability to perform successfully in a skill
environmental predictability
closed vs open skills ex. individual vs team sports
task structure
discrete, serial and continuous
, passive movements
result from external forces ex. gravity, supportive devices, other bodies/objects
active movements
muscular contractions, voluntary movements and reflexes.
theoretical approach to understand movement: cognitive
function can be derived from understanding characteristics of the elements. The whole
is equal to the sum of the parts
theoretical approach to understand movement: complex/dynamical systems
function cannot be deduced from knowledge of the component parts. The whole is more
than the sum of parts.
motor control
the study of cognitive and central nervous system processes that underlie movement.
The goal is to understand cognitive and neural processes involved in the planning and
execution of individual actions
motor learning
study of the mechanics involved in acquiring and improving motor skills. The goal is to
understand processes associated with practice that leads to a relatively permeant
change in capacity for movement.
motor development
study of changes in motor behaviour reflecting the interaction of the maturing organism
and its environment. The goal is to understand processes and factors leading to
changes in performance and learning across the lifespan.
factors affecting RT: practice=less RT
leads to increased knowledge of and experience with the stimuli and, therefore
increased ability to select the important from the non-important stimuli. There is
increased knowledge in possible responses but also an increased efficiency in selecting
the right one.
Factors increasing RT: response programming
response complexity- the more complex the response the greater the RT because more
complex= more muscles involved= more complex motor plan=increased RT
Stimulus-response compatibility Simon effect)
If the stimulus is on the same side as the muscle being moved the response time
