Lecture 2 MCML

Question 1

What is an attractor well?

Answer 1

A well ingrained movement pattern that is hard to change

Question 2

What are the 4 components about a movement that make up a schema stored in memory

Answer 2

1. Initial movement conditions
2. Parameters or general knowledge of motor program
3. Knowledge of results
4. Sensory consequences of movment

Question 3

Classical conditioning vs Operant conditioning

Answer 3

Classical- associating 2 different stimulus

Operant- includes reward or punishment

Question 4

Procedural learning vs Declarative Learning

Answer 4

Procedural learning- tasks can be preformed without attention

Declarative learning- can be recalled

Question 5

What are the 3 stages of Fitts and Posners motor learning

Answer 5

Cognitive stage- processing of task (many errors)

Associative stage- selection of best strategy, less errors

Autonomous stage- minimal attention required

Question 6

What is the systems 3-stage model for motor learning

Answer 6

Novice

Advanced

Expert

In each stage you unlock more degrees of freedom

Question 7

Newell’s theory of learning as exploration

Answer 7

Perception has a perscriptive role: the understanding of goals and movements

Perception has a feedback role: knowledge of reformance and knowledge of results

Question 8

Can learning be measured directly

Answer 8

no

Question 9

Intrinsic vs extrinsic feedback?

Answer 9

Intrinsic- from within the person

extrinsic- comes from with outside the person and supplements the intrinsic feedback

Question 10

Knowledge of results is ________ feedback

Answer 10

extrinsic feedback

Question 11

What is better for motor learning: Massed/blocked OR distributed practice

Answer 11

distributed

Question 12

What is better for motor learning: Constant or variable practice

Answer 12

variable

Question 13

What is better for motor learning: contextual interference or lack of contextual interference

Answer 13

contextual interference

Question 14

What is good for motor learning: Mental practice? Physical Guidance?

Answer 14

Mental practice- good

physical guidance- bad

Question 15

Compensation vs Recovery

Answer 15

Compensation: Alternative strategy used

Recovery: Acheiving function through original process

Question 16

The act of ____________ itself may be the primary reason that motor deficits remain

______________ is when a patient learns not to use the affected limbs

Answer 16

Compensating

Learned non-use

Question 17

How the patient looks practicing skills in a clinical setting is called

Answer 17

preformance

Question 18

What are the two regulatory conditions of tasks?

Answer 18

Stationary: fixed terrain

Motion: Supporting surfaces, objects, or people

Question 19

As movement variability decreases, a movement becomes more automtic and is called a ___________ skill

As movement variability increases, new movement patterns are generated to match situation, called an __________ skill

Answer 19

closed

open

Question 20

Question 21

What requires more information processing demands: tasks that require transporting the body, or tasks that involve stabilizing the body

Answer 21

transporting

Question 22

Complexity increases from upper left to lower right
