______ skills are discrete actions strung together - serial
playing piano, assembly line tasks, gymnastics routine
_______ actions have no recognizable beginning and end...examples? - continuous
swimming, steering a car, running
what are the components of an appropriate measurement? - - objectivity
- reliability
- validity
what are the assessments of target scoring? - - error
- time and speed
- movement magnitude
- performance on secondary tasks
______ error is the amount and direction of deviation relative to the target - constant
error
issues with constant error? - - average value can be smaller than individual value
- does not consider variability of the responses
______ error indicates the variability in movement outcome - variable error
issues with variable error? - it does not consider the accuracy of the responses
_____ indicates the total amount of spread of movement around the target...considered
an overall measure of success - total varibility
______ measures the average error in responding between movement and target -
absolute error
issues with absolute error? - it is difficult to know how much constant error or variable
error contributes
if you are shooting a target, it is easier to correct a high _____ - constant error
parts of a reaction time: - - foreperiod
- premotor RT
- motor RT
- movement time
, ______is the time between when you are told about a stimulus, and the stimulus
actually occurs - foreperiod
_____ isthe time between when a stimulus is presented and when EMG activity starts -
premotor RT
_____ is the time between when EMG activity starts and visible movement - motor RT
_______ is the time between movement start and stop - movement time
ways to measure brain activity - - EEG
- MEG
- Neural imaging techniques (PET, fMRI, MRI, single photon emission computer
tomography)
stages of information processing - - stimulus identification
- response selection
- response programming/execution
______ states that increases in one/multiple stages of information processing will lead
to increased reaction times - Sternberg's additive factors method
According to Sternberg's additive factors method, degraded stimuli will impact the
_____ phase - stimulus identification
According to Sternberg's additive factors method, complicated responses will impact the
_____ phase - response programming/execution
______ states that the more stimuli there are, the longer the reaction time will be -
Hick's law
______ is when an irrelevant feature interacts with your ability to respond to
information...ex: which ear a sound is played in - SImon effects
_____ anticipation is knowing what kinds of stimuli will be presented and what kinds of
responses will be required for ech - spatial
______ anticipation is anticipating when a stimulus will occur - temporal
Short term sensory store:
Duration:
(literal/abstract)
Capacity: - - less than 1 s
- literal
- seemingly limitless
