exam 1 Flashcards
- Hebb’s rule tells us what about synaptic plasticity?
a. Cells that fire together wire together
______ are neural circuits of the nervous system that produce rhythmic motor
patterns and play a role in locomotion.
a. Central pattern generators
- Which of the following feedback pathways is not polysynaptic?
M1 (fastest)
T/F
Trigger response are reflexive coordinated pattern of raid actions that emerge from
extensive practice (80-120ms)
true
T/F
M2 reflexive pathways monosynaptic can be altered with extensive training
(50-80ms).
False
What brain legion is not included in the hindbrain?
mesencephalon
This process changes sensation into perception.
transduction
Mountain biking is an example of what type of task classification?
continuous
mountain biking is an example of what type of task classification?
open
T/F
The open-loop model of movement control does a good job of explaining how people
perform continuous skills.
false
This type of processing uses memories to assign meaning to incoming information
and determine how to respond to stimuli.
top-down
_____ groups information in working memory _______ groups production units
during the motor learning
chunking/proceduralization
which of the following is not part of the limbic system?
a. medulla oblongata
b. amygdala
c. hypothalamus
d. hippocampus
medulla oblongata
What is the difference between motor performance and learning?
relative permanence
This influences reaction time during the fore-period of a movement and allows you to
predict the timing of an event.
motor anticipation
This influences reaction time after repeated exposure to a stimulus by increasing
response sensitivity in the future.
sensory priming
This law describes the relationship between number of choices and reaction time.
Hick-hyman law
Which region of the nervous system is not part of the executive
medulla oblongata
A muscle spindle is located in the _______ and sends out signals using _____ nerves.
muscle belly; type 1a & 2
Which of the following pathways requires the executive to make corrections to the
motor program?
m3
Semantic memory is an example of non-declarative memory.
false
What is the term for reaction time + movement time
response time
This type of schema is concerned with movement evaluation.
recognition schema
T/F
A GMP houses information about invariant features of a movement
true
