94
Q

Sensation vs perception

A

sensation involved activation of sensory receptors, perception involved interpreting snesations

95

100
Q

Choice RT

A

a RT task where participant is presented more than one possible stimulus and the required response is dependent on that stimulus

101
Q

Hicks Law

A

-the time it takes to make a response is related to the number of stimulus response alternatives
-Choice RT increases nearly constant amount when S-R slternatives are doubled (log-linear relationship)

102
Q

BITS of information

A

Log2(N) = 1 bit

the amount of information required to reduce the uncertainty by half

** least amount of binary decisions

103
Q

in hicks law, what is the y intercept experimentally?

A

rxn time when x=0, therefore 0 bits of information, 1 stimulus present with 1 response (SIMPLE RT)

104
Q

in hicks law, what is the slope experimentally?

A

amount of rxn time added when you add a stimulus

105
Q

106
Q

Go/No-go tasks

A

reacting to 1 stimulus and not reacting to another

107
Q

Donders subtractive method:

A

Simple RT: Response programming

Choice RT: Stimulus identification, response selection, response programming

Go/No-go: stimulus identification, response programing

108
Q

other factors affecting response selection

A

features of S-R relationship:

-stimulus-response compatibiltity (mapping of the response to the action, spatially)

109
Q

Simon Effect

A

-irrelevant spatial features have effects on RT
-found by comparing responses of spatially compatible trials vs incompatible trials

110
Q

The joint-simon effect

A

co-representing actions

-when two people perform a simon-task, they perform similar to when performing a two-choice task

111
Q

Simon task

A

participants responded to auditory cues played in either left or right ear. Had to press right when “right” or left when “left” was said.

112
Q

Joint simon task

A

two people performing simon task but with pointer and mouse

113
Q

results from joint simon task

A

results from two-choice and joint go/nogo are identical

-even though the choices are the same for joint go/nogo and individual go/nogo, the results differ and show joint the same as two choice

114
Q

Sebanz 2003

A

-participants responded faster in compatible than non compatible
-when performing task with another person, participants also showed faster responses in compatible
-in individual go/nogo there were no differences between compatible and incompatible

115
Q

2 parts os stimulus identification

A

sensation and perception

Q

Response Programming

A

transformation/translation of the action concept into the muscular actions that will achieve the goal

**the final set of processes that allow the individual to communicate w the environment

126
Q

what occurs during response programming?

A

-sensorimotor transformations
-events could be related to memory
-involved preparation of relevant motor structures

127
Q

Henry and Rogers (2003)

A

-research on response programming
-compared reaction time for 3 movements (life finger, life finger reach to ball, life finger hit ball press button then reach ball again)
-discovered: more complex movements are, the more time it takes for same initial movement

128
Q

movement complexities

A

-Accuracy requirement; size of goal
-movement components; how many individual movements
-Movement duration; time from beginning to end

129
Q

what happens when there is a long pause between individual movements

A

RT did not increase

130
Q

Knapp and Erwin

A

-told participants response duration and calculated rxn time
-increased duration requirement means increased rxn time

131
Q

Programming a trajectory

A

-proponents of sensory-coding theories of motor behaviour argue that we plan a point-to-point visual trajectory
-based on idea that neural activation patterns in motor areas represent spatial goals in a visual reference frame

132
Q

Batista & Newsome: evidence for trajectory programming

A

hypothesis: brain maps representation where arm is in space

Found: neural response was highest when arm matched goal position

133
Q

Motor Programming theory:

A

a prestructured set of movement commands that defines the essential details of a skilled action with minimal or no involvement of sensory feedback

**during response programming, the motor program to achieve the action is specified

134
Q

Evidence of motor programming (wadman)

A

agonist & antagonist muscles have opposite timing, meaning programmed entire movement prior to the movement happening

135
Q

Criticism of motor programs

A

storage problem, and degrees of freedom problem

136
Q

Storage problem

A

imagine if every movement was a distinct motor program - it would require much more space to store them all, we would not have enough capacity

137
Q

Degrees of freedom problem

A

there are too many degrees of freedom to control (to many moving parts)

138
Q

Berntsteins Dynamical Systems Theory

A

Stereotypes similarities of movement patterns are not represented in motor programs but emerge naturally due to complex mechanics

139
Q

what does dynamical systems theory solve

A

degrees of freedom problem; explains expertise and freezing the right DoFs

Q

Rosenbaum

A

used precuing technique to determine which information is more useful for facilitating response programming (narrowing choices)

ex.

Arm (Lor R)
Extent (close or far)
Direction (up or down)

binary response, fire then decrease firing rate, # of rods increases away from center of eye

166
Q

Firing Rate of cones

A

graded response, provide different degrees, most abundant at center of eye

167
Q

Visual System

A

visual info travels through optic n. and various subcortical structures to the lateral geniculate nucleus (in thalamus) then it is relayed to primary visual cortex

168
Q

primary visual cortex

A

where visual features such as stimulus direction, speed and object orientation

169
Q

from the primary visual cortex, where can information travel

A

one of two visual streams: dorsal or ventral

170
Q

Dorsal stream

A

where visual information travels to the parietal areas
-aka vision for action stream
-inputs form full visual field
-involved w vision to perform action

171
Q

Ventral Stream

A

where visual information travels to temporal lobe
-aka vision for perecption stream
-inputs from the LGN mainly from central vision

172
Q

Where does evidence for two visual streams come from

A

perception-action dissociation experiments

173
Q

what does it mean if a participant can tell orientation but cannot guide hand to object (impaired action intact perception)

A

optic ataxia; stroke affecting more parietal and less temporal lobe

174
Q

visual agonosia

A

stroke patient could act to put something through opening but could not perceive to match it up without doing action
**stroke is afffecting more temporal less parietal

175
Q

3 examples of evidence of dorsal and ventral streams

A

Muller-Lyer illusion, Shepard Tables
& Ebbinghaus-Tichner illusion

176
Q

perception scales to illusions but what does not

A

grip aperature (action)

177
Q

Parts of displacement trajectory

A

peak acceleration, peak velocity, peak deceleration, movement termination

178
Q

Peak velocity

A

anything after this tells you a lot about the movement control

179
Q

Gunslinger Effect

A

Person reacting to drawn gun often ends up surviving not the one who initiates the action

180
Q

what did the displacement trajectory experiment show

A

more displacement a peak deceleration indicates using vidual feedback to adjust at the end of the movement

181
Q

Roberts et al., 2017

A

-replicated gunslinger effect showing shorter time to peak acceleration for REACTED movements (compared to initiated)
-results suggest ventral stream may be used for limb control and dorsal for planning
-target influenced distance travelled to peak deceleration indicating influence later in movement

182
Q

vision and balance

A

vision does not effect balance
-visual system indicated where head and eyes are in space

183
Q

optic flow

A

when we move our head, the angle the light rays hit the retina changes
-the environment flows past us as head and body move
-gives info of our position and position of objects

184
Q

mvoing room experiment

A

-as walls move we lose balance
-highly dependent on vision for body orientation

185
Q

A

can indicate whether the object is coming toward or away from you and estimate time to contact (tau)

186
Q

time to contact

A

directly porportional to the: size of image divided by rate of change of image
*true regardless of distance, size or velocity

187

Q

ways to disrupt vestibular system

A

changing polarity of fluid & giving false sense body is moving

192
Q

why do our eyes stay stable when we move our heads

A

vestibular-ocular reflexes
(when we move our heads in one direction, our eyes slowly move in other direction)

193
Q

nystagmus

A

alternating slow and fast movements

194
Q

how to help overcome dizzy feeling

A

SPOTTING
-focus on visual stable
-turning head after body has undergone motion reduces time spinning
-train to tolerate more spinning via shifting sensory feedback to use more visual sources
