Motor Learning Flashcards
motor control
the study of movement
motor learning
modification of movement
adam’s theory
more practice
schmidt’s theory
feedback + practice
ecological theory
learn from environment
3 Stage Model: cognitive
- first stage
- > cognitive load
- more practice = improve
- controlled environment
- lots of errors
3 Stage Model: associative
- intermediate stage
- independently establish correct and incorrect
- progress to open environment
- less extrinsic feedback
- skill refinement
3 Stage Model: autonomous
- final stage
- most error-free
- changing environment
- exclusively intrinsic feedback
- automatic
Massed practice
practice time is greater than rest time
Distributed practice
practice and rest time are equal
Constant practice
continuously practicing under one condition
Variable practice
practice under different conditions
Random practice
practicing different tasks
Blocked practice
practicing the same task
Closed system model
utilization of feedback loops, nervous system is active participant
Habituation
decrease in response that occurs with exposure to non-painful stimuli
Non-associative learning
a single repeated stimulus
Associative learning
gaining understanding between 2 stimuli
Procedural learning
learning tasks that can be performed without attention
Declarative learning
requires attention, awareness, and reflection
Open system model
does not response to feedback but a single stimulus
Sensitization
an increase in response due to a noxious stimuli
