Q

What is adam’s closed loop theory in regards to motor control

A

it states that sensory feedback is an ongoing process for the nervous system to compare current movement with stored information on memory of past movement with high emphasis on practice

48
Q

What is schmidt’s schema theory in regards to motor control

A

This is an open loop theory that promotes clinical value of feedback and importance of variation with practice

49
Q

what are the three stages of motor learning

A
  1. cognitive
  2. associative stage
  3. autonomous stage
50
Q

  1. cognitive
  2. associative stage
  3. autonomous stage
51
Q

Which stage of motor learning (cognitive, associative, or autonomous) can be described as

-large amount of errors
-inconsistent attempts
-repetition allows for improvement
- high degree of cognitive work; listening/observing/processing feedback

52
Q

Which stage of motor learning is the intermediate stage in which a pt is able to more independently distinguish correct versus incorrect performance by linking feedback with the movement performed.

  1. cognitive
  2. associative stage
  3. autonomous stage
A

associative stage

53
Q

Which stage of motor learning (cognitive, associative, or autonomous) can be described as

-decreased errors with new skills
-decreased need for concentration
-skill refinement
-increased coordination with practice

A

associative

54
Q

Which stage of motor learning is the final stage in which a pt improves the efficiency of the activity without a great need for cognitive control.

  1. cognitive
  2. associative stage
  3. autonomous stage
A

autonomous

55
Q

Which stage of motor learning (cognitive, associative, or autonomous) can be described as

-automatic response
-mainly error free
-distraction does not impact activity
-external feedback should be limited if any, and internal feedback should be dominant

A

autonomous

56
Q

True or False

Overtime, a PT should decrease extrinsic feedback in order to ultimately enhance learning.

57
Q

Which of the following types of feedback represents all feedback that comes to the person through sensory systems as a result of the movement including visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and somatosensory inputs

  1. Intrinsic/inherent
  2. extrinsic/augmented
A
  1. intrinsic/inherent
58
Q

Which of the following types of feedback represents the information that can be provided while a task or movement is in progress or subsequent to the movement, which is typically in the form of verbal or manual feedback.

  1. Intrinsic/inherent
  2. extrinsic/augmented
A

extrinsic or augmented

59
Q

A

The activity lasts longer than the rest breaks in between sets/another activity.

60
Q

What is distributed practice

A

the amount of rest time between trials is equal to or greater than the amount of practice time for each trial.

61

67
Q

What does the reflexive hierarchy in regards to motor control.

A

This is an open loop system characterized by a single transfer of information without any feedback loop. The nervous system is seen as awaiting stimuli in order to react.

False, this describes a closed loop
