Chapter 3.2 Flashcards
What information is derived from sensation?
- Afferent
- Movement-produced feedback
- exteroception
- proprioception
What is afferent information?
Information used to regulate movement
What is movement produced feedback?
information resulting from movement
What is exteroception?
information from outside the body
What is proprioception?
Information from inside the body
What is closed-loop control?
A type of control that involves the use of feedback and the activity of error detection and correction processes to maintain the desired state; used to control slow, deliberate movements.
In the closed-loop control model, what is a task goal maintained by?
feedback
error detection
error correction
What component of the closed loop control system determines actions necessary to maintain the desired goal state?
the executive component
What component of a control system carries out the desired action?
The effector
What provides information from the various sensors about the current state?
feedback
What is the error-detection mechanism contained in the closed-loop system that compares the desired state to the feedback of the actual state?
the Comparator
Who founded the closed loop theory?
Jack Adams
What skills does closed-loop control work best for?
Continuous - time to provide feedback
Can closed loop control work for a batter trying to hit a ball?
Sometimes
How long is reaction time?
160-190msec for skilled athlete
200-250msec for average
