motor behavior quiz #2

Question 1

State the three stages of the Fitts and Posner Model of Learning. The first letter of each word is given below:
C -
A -
A -

Answer 1

Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous

Question 2

True or False: As an environment becomes more “open”, the performer must diversity/adapt the basic movement pattern

Answer 2

TRUE
More open, more involved and changing

Question 3

What are the 3 areas of Newell’s Model

Answer 3

Person, environment, task

Question 4

True or False: For professional practice, one would prefer a low resolution precision of measurement

Answer 4

FALSE
higher precision, the better

Question 5

True or False: The greater the time period in between when an instrument provides data/information during a measurement means a higher temporal resolution precision of measurement:

Answer 5

FALSE

Question 6

Kinematic Measures:

Answer 6

Displacement
Velocity
Acceleration
Coordination

Question 7

True or False: For the “Control Condition” data was collected to determine the degree to which the preferred hand’s performance compared to the non-preferred hand’s performance

Answer 7

FALSE
Trials for control are preferred hand; had nothing to do with control condition

Question 8

True or False:In our lab we collected to determine bilateral transfer for two different tasks

Answer 8

FALSE
Transfer was between limbs (preferred or not preferred)
