motor learning Flashcards
what is motor learning
a set of processes associated with practice or experience leading to permanent changes in the capabilities to produce a skilled action
components of skilled reaction
aquiring capability for skilled action
learning results from experinece or action
learning canot be measured directly based on behaviour
permanent change in behaviour
difference btw learning and performance
learning is a permanent change in the motor behavior
while performance is a temporary change in the motor behavior seen during a practice session
motor learning is divided into
adaptation and skill acquisation
what is adaptation
the learning of a new relationship between welllearned movements and a new spatial goal
what is skill acquisation
ability to achieve an environmental goal withmaximum certainty and minimal expenditure of energy and time
factors affecting motor learning
Verbal instructions
Practice
Active participation and motivation
Possibility of errors
Postural control
Memory
Feedback
function of the cerebellum
memories involvin movements
what is the function of the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe
encodes and transfers new explicit memories to long-term memories
function of amygdala
encodes emotional aspects of memories
function of prefrontal cortex
memory involving the sequence of events
what are teh two forms of long term memory
explicit or declarative
implicit or nondeclarative
what are the two types of non-associative learning
habituation-the response of repeated nonharmful stimuli
sensitization-response to repeatedly exposed stimulus increases over time
types of associative learning
classical conditioning-one stimulus predicts other stimulus and opperant conditioning -a behaviour and its concequences
a type of learning that develops through repetittion is
procedural learning
