?
Motor control is the interaction between what factors?
Task, environment, individual
1 of 38
Who came up with the 4 aspects of motor control?
Sheridan
2 of 38
What is NOT an aspect of motor control?
Degrees of freedom
3 of 38
What is the fundamental unit of motor control according to reflex theory?
Reflexes
4 of 38
What is reflexive chaining?
Reflexes combined to make movement of individual
5 of 38
What is not a limitation of reflex theory?
It has a storage problem
6 of 38
What does the hierarchical theory NOT assume?
Reflexes are an important part of movement planning
7 of 38
Who came up with the open/closed loop theory?
Adams
8 of 38
What is not a characteristic of open loop?
Execution is dependant on feedback
9 of 38
What is not a characteristic of closed loop?
Pre programmed
10 of 38
What is a major influencer of which mode to employ?
Speed of movement
11 of 38
What is not a feature of a ballistic movement?
Allows for correction
12 of 38
What is not a feature of a controlled movement?
No feedback
13 of 38
Who came up with the Motor Program?
Keele
14 of 38
What is a motor program?
Set of muscle commands that are structured before a movement sequence begins
15 of 38
What is not a limitation of motor program theory?
Does not view movement planning as being a top down approach
16 of 38
Who refined the motor program to the generalised motor program?
Schmidt
17 of 38
What is not an advantage of the generalised motor program?
It still has storage issues
18 of 38
What is not a family of movement example?
Finger movements
19 of 38
What theory did Berenstein develop in 1967?
Degrees of freedom
20 of 38
What is the DoF problem?
How are multiple DOF controlled without overloading system?
21 of 38
What is not an example of a degree of freedom?
Leg
22 of 38
What reduces the DOF of movement?
Linking elements together
23 of 38
What is not a source of context conditioned variability?
Cognitive variability
24 of 38
What study is an example of how movement can be coordinated and controlled?
Kelso
25 of 38
What is a coordinative structure?
Group of muscle spanning several several joints that act as functional unit
26 of 38
What is not a principle of coordinative structures?
Context specific - initial conditions have to be constant
27 of 38
What is self organisation?
Intrinsic structural patterns occur spontaneously as they self organise
28 of 38
What is perception action coupling?
Interaction between perceptual and movement variables that results in specific movement dynamics
29 of 38
What is perception?
Process of obtaining information from sensory stimulation and making it available for action
30 of 38
What is not a sensory receptor used to perceive environment?
Emotive receptor
31 of 38
Perception is..
Multi modal
32 of 38
What is it when muscles and tendons are filled with mechanical receptors that stretch and compress to tell us about body position?
Proprioception
33 of 38
Muscle spindles are not...
Messengers to sensory neurons in spinal cord to cause relaxation and lengthen of muscle
34 of 38
Golgi tendon organs are not..
Signalled by hormones that accumulate in the tendons
35 of 38
Joint receptors do not...
Fire only at extreme angles to signal the body is not in useful position
36 of 38
The vestibular system does not...
Detect only angular accelerations of head
37 of 38
What is not a role of proprioception?
Open loop feedback
