Lecture 6 Flashcards
what is meant by validity in testing behaviour or performance
the degree to which the test actually measures what it its meant to measure
what are performance outcome measures
focus on the end result - the outcome of performing a skill
what are performance process measures
focus on how movement was performed (e.g technique)
what does mechanical category of experimental methods focus on
joint / segment motion,
control of force,
movement success,
interactions between person and environment
what does electrical category of experimental methods focus on
electromyography (EMG) e.g muscles
electroencephalography (EEG) e.g brain
what does metabolic category of experimental methods focus on
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
positron emission tomography (PET)
what is an in phase coordination
when two joints are flexing (or extending) at the same time
what is anti phase coordination
when one joint is flexing and the other is extending
what is pre motor time
the amount of time the brain takes to identify a stimulus and then organise and have a response
