A

describes the number of ways in which a given unit (part of the body) is capable of moving

Q

closed-loop control

-explain

A

feedback
explain movement as outcome of feedback-initiated reflex actions and pre-patterned neural systems
error detection and correction maintain desired goal during the movement itself

Q

open-loop control mechanisms

A

two-level hierarchy

  • executive
  • -command center generates action plan that contains all necessary information to complete motor response
  • effectors
  • -muscles and limbs; carry out command without modification

Q

open-loop control mechanisms

  • components of executive
  • components of effectors
A 
executive
-stimulus identification
-response selection
-response program
effector
-cortex
-spinal cord
-muscles
movement is output
17
Q

would an expert or a novice trying to learn a guitar riff use an open loop?

A

expert

-don’t really need feedback anymore to be able to play the riff

18
Q

role of feedback in open-loop control

A

feedback constantly present, but comes too late to adjust the ongoing movement
once pre-structured commands are initiated, command must run as planned
feedback received can be used only to modify subsequent attempts

19
Q

open-loop control mechanisms

  • most effective for controlling movements that occur…
  • _____ instructions are given that specify _____
A

most effective for controlling movement that occurs in stable, predictable environment where need for modification is low
advance instructions are given that specify what is to be performed, as well as sequence and timing
-rapid movements (<200 ms)

20
Q

closed-loop control mechanisms: feedback-controlled system

-command center needs only to…

A

command center needs only to generate action plan that initiates movement

  • sensory feedback continually compared to desired movement
  • detected discrepancies sent back to command center for correction
21
Q

what is the difference in the content of the instructions in closed- vs. open-loop

A

open
-full command
closed
-command to initiate with ability to adjust on the fly

22
Q

closed loop examples

  • nervous system
  • functional activity
A

nervous system
-stretch reflex
functional activity
-slack-lining

23
Q

four key components of closed-loop control mechanisms

A

executive
effector
feedback
comparator

24
Q

closed-loop control mechanism: executive

  • purpose
  • responsible for…
A 
decision maker
responsible for
-stimulus identification
-response selection
-response programming
25
Q

closed-loop control mechanism: effector

  • function
  • what does it in the body?
A

enacts the decisions

-spinal cord, muscles, motor programs

26
Q

closed-loop control mechanism: feedback

  • function
  • types
A

reference of correctness/goal
types
-interoceptive = inside the body
-exteroceptive = outside the body (i.e. visual, auditory)

27
Q

closed-loop control mechanism: comparator

  • types
  • -what do each do?
A

slow movements
-feedback fine tunes muscle force patterns
fast movements
-visual checking after completion of movement

28
Q

closed-loop control mechanisms

-what does a typical feedback loop look like?

A

system goal is defined
sensory information is compared to actual information about movement
executive is informed about an error
executive sends command to the effector
match is made, error is corrected to = zero
-if error = zero, executive sends command to “turn off the furnace” or command for action
-if error exists, executive sends command to “turn on the furnace”

29
Q

closed loop control: timeline for feedback-based corrections

  • peak muscle twitck
  • updated commands reach MUs
A

peak muscle twitch
-75 ms
updated commands reach MUs
-190 ms
