KPE 160 Final Exam Prep Exam Questions And
Correct Answers 2024-2025
measures of movement - Answer temporal
spacial
muscle activity and force
brain activity
temporal measures - Answer response time
reaction time
movement time
spacial measures - Answer constant error
absolute error
variable error
muscle activity and force measures - Answer describe the characteristics of the muscle
burst
brain activity measures - Answer describe the neural activity
methods of measuring movement - Answer behavorial-spacial and temporal
physiological-force
brain activity
total response time - Time to respond from stimulus onset to termination of the response
, (reaction time + movement time)
reaction time - Time to respond from onset of stimulus to beginning of response
(stimuli identification, response selection, response programming)
movement time - Time to respond from beginning of response to end of response
constant error - Precision of response or bias in behavior
([-] error is undershooting, [+] error is overshooting)
calculation: target location - achieved location on each trial
add all error differences together and / number of trials
absolute error - Answer overall accuracy
calculation: target location - achieved location on each trial
drop negative signs
add all error differences together and / number of trials
variable error - Answer precision/consistency of behavior
calculation: average location across all trials - current location on each trial
square the difference
add squared differences, divide by number of trials
take the square root of that value
agonist muscle vs. antagonist muscle - An antagonist muscle resists the action of the
agonist muscle. Answer supporting (prime mover) vs. synergist muscles (assisting in
action)
active movement - Answer voluntary movements
