Movement - adaptation and motor skills Flashcards
internal model
what is the internal model
inverse and forward models
which 2 parts of the brain control motor skills
frontal lobe and motor cortex
which type of memeory is motor skills linked too
procedural memory
what is procedural memory
is a type of memory of long term memory storing motor related skills, habits and actions.
muscle coordination is linked to what type of memory
procedural memory
what does a lack of proprioception cause
Clumsiness and lack of control over force and speed as well as disrupting postural reflexes and control of muscle tone
what is the main sensory feedback for time and control in motor adaptation?
proprioception
what are proprioceptors
a sensory receptor that receives stimuli from within the body, especially one that responds to position and movement.
what do people who lack proprioception have difficulty with
patient who has lost proprioception have particular difficulty controlling the dynamic properties of their limbs
proprioception is what for motor adaptation
a sensory feedback
Humans adapt for motor control. Is this quicker or longer than learning a skill
quicker
Force field adaptation is a study that what
showed how a force can impact movement and that the body can adapt and change its movement
how are motor skill learnt
includes learning consistently and repeating an action and consists of slow motor functions leading to improved performance
motor skills is the what adapted to a specific situation
internal motor
