Introduction & Motor Learning Theory Flashcards
what is a hypothesis & how is it conceived?
simple declarative statement that incorporates cause and effect and can be tested
conceived based on observation and knowledge; not assumption.
what is critical reasoning?
observe behaviors, make a hypothesis, test the hypothesis
what are the parts of the WHO model?
disease or disorder: (1) body function & structure, (2) activity, and (3) participation
contextual factors: (1) environmental factors, (2) personal factors
what is considered the link between physiology and perception?
kinesthetic awareness
what is kinesthetic awareness?
feelings the things you are doing or the state of your body by focusing your attention
what is deliberate focus of attention? and what can it include?
when we consciously attend to the sensations associated with our manner of phonation, we are using deliberate focus of attention
- recognize stimuli within our attention focus
- block out the stimuli
- heightened awareness
- focus top down to override usual attention
what does the motor learning theory state?
the acquisition, modification, consolidation, and habituation of an easy, efficient, and effective manner of phonation requires practice and repetition in order to integrate and then generalize the new motor pattern.
voice is a
motor act
in motor assessment, we may ask which motor components are performed with ___________? and where is the lack of ______________ between subsystems.?
effort; coordination
mastery of a skilled movement suggests ________________, consistent, and rapid performance with precision and accuracy.
effortless
motor learning provides a context for appreciating that the process of building an easy, efficient and effective voice is not _______________.
straightforward
temporary shifts
when training may be going well and then there is a small failure
overshooting is a possibility in …
voice training
in voice training, the patient may take a step that’s…
too big or too small
in voice training we should build the patient’s confidence to …
explore the range of their voice – play with your voice as a child would
in voice training we may have hurdles that have to do with anatomical ________________. an example of this would be…
constraints ; male to female transgender switch: there are anatomical differences in biological men and women voices.
in voice training there may be sufficient or a lack of awareness of ________ feedback depending on the patient.
sensory
MLT stages of skill acquisition
- shaping - modifying or reinforcing
- stabilizing - accounting of temporary variability in performance
- reinforcing accuracy - identify the range of accepted performance
- generalizing - in more challenging situations
motor learning theory provides a multilayered framework for voice therapy. one way this theory supports change is by ___________
rationalizing variability in production
