6. Joint receptors do not...
- Have different kinds of sensory receptors
- Fire only at extreme angles to signal the body is not in useful position
- Give us information about joint angles
7. What is not a characteristic of open loop?
- Pre programmed
- Execution is dependant on feedback
- There is no feedback
8. What is perception action coupling?
- Group of muscles spanning several joints that act as a single unit
- Gathering of information about environment
- Interaction between perceptual and movement variables that results in specific movement dynamics
- Mechanical receptors that stretch and compress
9. What is not a limitation of reflex theory?
- It has a storage problem
- Doesn't explain absence of sensory stimuli
- Doesn't address Sheridan's Model - not changed by environment
- Doesn't explain fast sequential actions
- One stimulus can result in various responses
- Doesn't explain novel movements
10. What is a motor program?
- Set of muscle commands that are structured before a movement sequence begins
- A store of families of movements
- A sensory stimuli
- A degree of freedom
11. What is the fundamental unit of motor control according to reflex theory?
- Feedback
- Open/closed loops
- Reflexes
- Degrees of freedom
12. What is it when muscles and tendons are filled with mechanical receptors that stretch and compress to tell us about body position?
- Auditory receptors
- Proprioception
- Visual receptors
13. What is the DoF problem?
- Having a lack of biokinetic links
- How do we move?
- How are multiple DOF controlled without overloading system?
- How does brain communicate with muscles?
14. What is perception?
- Acts as a brake against excessive contractions
- Process of obtaining information from sensory stimulation and making it available for action
- Self organising intrinsic structural patterns
15. What is not a family of movement example?
- Upper limb function
- Finger movements
- Self help skills
- Locomotion skills
16. What is not a characteristic of closed loop?
- Initial command
- Pre programmed
- There is feedback
- Execution and completion is dependant on feedback
17. The vestibular system does not...
- Have direct relationship between eye movement and motion sickness
- Stabilise visual image
- Detect only angular accelerations of head
- Monitors posture and balance
18. Motor control is the interaction between what factors?
- Individual and environment
- Individual and task
- Task, environment, individual
- Task and environment
19. What is not a feature of a controlled movement?
- Uses feedback
- Slower
- No feedback
- Allows for correction
20. Who came up with the 4 aspects of motor control?
- Keele
- Schmidt
- Sheridan
- Adams
