Chapter 4 Flashcards
What are degrees of freedom?
Your action possibilities in motor learning
What is coordination?
Organizing your degrees of freedom into a movement pattern to achieve a goal
What is control?
Manipulation in movement to
Meet demands
What is the degrees of freedom problem?
How do we coordinate and control the degrees of freedom to produce a movement pattern?
What is the motor program theory?
Command center, which makes decisions regarding movement
What is dynamic interaction theory?
Movement patterns come together and self organize as a function with learner, environment, or task
How does a motor program work?
A movement plan, stored in memory, and carried all motor commands
What are invariant features and how do we use them?
They are a sequence of actions, relative timing, and relative force
What are parameters?
Flexible and modified, alternate fundamental movement patterns, and movement direction
What is muscle selection?
Limbs to perform a task
What is a schema?
A rule or set of rules govern by discrete movement
What is motor schema response and the 4 steps?
Initial conditions, response specifications, sensory consequences, and response outcome
What is a recall schema?
Organizing a motor program that indicates and controls the movement of
What is recognition schema?
Evaluating a movement attempt
What is open loop control?
Feedback occurs
