Q

Properties of SLR

A

-scale w/ background muscle activity (closer/further threshold)
-scale w/ rate and amount of muscle stretch (more AP’s, more neurotransmitters, more force)

Q

Properties of LLR

A

-recruit cerebral cortex

adjust ongoing movement

27
Q

closed-loop (feedback control system)

A

-uses sensory feedback to detect errors correct voluntary motor actions

28
Q

controlling actions

31
Q

ventral vision stream is important for…

A

perceptual judgements

32

36
Q

dorsal stream

A

-“where” pathway

38
Q

form agnosia

A

-ventral stream damage
-selective impairments in perception

freighter in the distance

42
Q

high rate of expansion (EX)

A

deer in the headlights

43
Q
