Question 1

Proprioception

Answer 1

The perception of limb, body, and head movement characteristics; afferent neural pathways send to to the CNS proprioceptive info about characteristics such as limb movement direction, location in space, and velocity

Question 2

Deafferentation

Answer 2

A procedure that researchers use to make proprioceptive feedback unavailable (through surgically severing or removing afferent neural pathways involved in the movement); it also can result from injury, surgery, or disease to to afferent neural pathways involved in proprioception

Question 3

Central vision

Answer 3

The middle 2 to 5 degrees of the visual field; it is sometimes called foveal vision

Question 4

Peripheral vision

Answer 4

The visual field outside the 2 to 5 degrees of central vision
