KPE160 FINAL EXAM LATEST
why study motor behaviour? - ANSWERS-movement is fundamental to
many aspects of life, movement is complex, human factors/ergonomics
diagnosis/rehabilitation of neural and muscular disorders
movement is fundamental - ANSWERS-teaching, coaching, and
learning (use concepts)
human factors/ergonomics - ANSWERS-increase movement
efficiencies, where things are placed, and how we react to them
diagnosis/rehabilitation - ANSWERS-cant design things without
knowledge of motor behaviour (therapeutic intervention), we need to
understand how the brain works and impacts behaviour
fundamental motor behaviour - ANSWERS-ergonomics, rehab &
recovery, workplace safety, biomedical engineering, human
performance, robotics, high-performance athletes, teaching, adapted PA,
human-computer interfaces
central nervous system - ANSWERS-the brain is encased by the skull;
the spinal cord is encased by the vertebrae

peripheral nervous system - ANSWERS-neurons and nerve processes
outside the CNS
sensory connections - ANSWERS-to receptors in the skin
motor connections - ANSWERS-to body muscles
sensory & motor connections - ANSWERS-to internal organs & gut
environmental & internal stimuli - ANSWERS-sensory receptors,
stimulus identification, response selection, response programming,
spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, action
sensory receptors - ANSWERS-carry from the body to the brain
stimulus identification - ANSWERS-identify the object, where it is in
space
response selection - ANSWERS-pick what you are going to do

response programming - ANSWERS-how do i move? parameters
spinal cord - ANSWERS-send motor plan out
peripheral nerve - ANSWERS-action potential in muscles, doesn't end
here, becomes a feedback loop, the stimulus for the next action
motor control - ANSWERS-study of cognitive and CNS mechanisms
underlying movement
motor control goal - ANSWERS-to understand cognitive and neural
processes involved in the planning and execution of individual actions
motor learning - ANSWERS-study of mechanisms in acquiring and
improving motor skills (learning and improving old/permanent)
motor learning goal - ANSWERS-to understand processes associated
with the practice that lead to a relatively permanent change in capability
for movement

motor development - ANSWERS-study of changes in motor behaviour
reflecting the interactions of the maturing organism and it environment
motor development goal - ANSWERS-to understand processes &
learning across the lifespan
control - ANSWERS-milseconds
learning - ANSWERS-hours, days, weeks
development - ANSWERS-months, years, decades
cognitive and reductionist - ANSWERS-functions can be derived from
understanding the characteristics of their elements, whole= sum of parts,
how our brain works to plan + execute movements, characteristics +
elements
complex and dynamical system - ANSWERS-functions can't be derived
from understanding characteristics of elements, whole > than sum of
parts
