Lecture 2 Flashcards
Hierarchical vs Parallel processing
Hierarchical: “steps” and each step is increasingly processed
Parallel: multiple processes occur simultaneously and help speed up processing by dividing task among diff pathways or regions
for complex interactions of various systems to complete tasks: end goal is the ____ not the movement. less concerned with how it’s completed
task
attractor wells
how easy can behaviors be changed? (deeper well= stronger habits to get rid)
mvmt emerges as result of interacting parts w/o need for specific command
self-organizaiton
as one parameter is changed and reaches a critical value new behavior emerges
non-linear properties
habituation vs sensitization
habituation: less response to a repeated stimulus overtime
sensitization: increased response t a repeated stimulus esp when it’s noxious/strong
after a person moves, 4 things are stored in memory
- initial mvmt conditions
- parameters used in general motor program
- knowledge of results (outcome)
- sensory consequences
classical conditioning
condition stimulus causes conditioned response that was formerly unconditioned
rewarded behaviors are repeated, punished, not repeated
operant conditioning
procedural learning
performed without thinking about it (HABIT)
declarative learning
requires awareness, attn, reflection
recalled knowledge
feedback vs feedfoward
slide 6
importance of transitions
push our more chronic pts into periods of instability to reach a new pattern of stability
good for a treatment modality so they can have increased variability of performance and use motor problem-solving
task oriented theory : Gordon’s investment principle
pt will plateu but eventually get better thru new strategy
selection of best strategy for task and now begins to refine the skill
less variable and more accurate performance
associative stage
conscious processing of task requirements; performance has many errors and variability
cognitive stage
minimal attention required; error detection present; stable performance
autonomous stage
novice, advanced, and expert stages and degrees of freedom
by the expert stage, all degrees of freedom are released. but at first, the learner wants to simplify mvmt and decrease degrees of freedom
how (or why) might we limit a patient’s movement or DOF?
bc it may help release DOF later
slide 12 skilled learning theory: Newell’s theory
give pt specific goals during the task.
let pt have perception of knowledge of performance / results
T/F learning can be measured directly
F (is inferred from behavior)
