Module 8 Flashcards
What part of the brain is involved in adaptation?
a.) cerebrum
b.) cerebellum
c.) primary motor cortex
b.) cerebellum
True or False: patients with cerebellar lesions did NOT adapt as well from trial to trial as the control group did.
True
True or False: the control group adapted better than patients with cerebella lesions, due to making smaller errors when the forcefield was turned off.
False; larger errors
Which groups adapted the least during Adapt 1 and 2 phases?
a.) older sham (control) group
b.) younger sham group
c.) older anodal group
a.) older sham (control) group
___________ is a time-dependent process where recently learned experiences are transformed into long-term memory.
a.) online learning
b.) offline learning
c.) consolidation
d.) adaptation
c.) consolidation
True or False: the strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons is presumably the way memory consolidation is able to occur.
True
______________ refers to changes that happen within a day.
a.) online learning
b.) offline learning
a.) online learning
______________ refers to changes that happen in between days.
a.) online learning
b.) offline learning
b.) offline learning
The _________ group retained more information, and therefore had better offline skill.
a.) anodal tDCS group
b.) control group
a.) anodal tDCS group
True or False: tDCS can alter the rate of forgetting.
False
True or False: offline learning may be affected by sleep.
True
True or False: movement adaptation requires the same goal, but different motor commands.
True
__________ are networks in the brain that predict the sensory consequences of a movement.
a.) adaptations
b.) consolidations
c.) foward models
d.) error signals
c.) foward models
True or False: when a prediction doesn’t match the actual state, an error signal is created.
True
True or False: movement adaptation involves the creation of a new controller, rather than changes to the current controller.
False
