S1_L1: Introduction to Motor Control & Motor Learning Strategies Flashcards
This is a result of a complex set of neurological, physical, mechanical, and behavioral process that enables an individual to make dynamic postural adjustments and direct body & limb movements into purposeful activity
Motor Control
Based on the principles of neuroplasticity, practice leads to cell-to-cell cooperation. This leads to a more reliable change

Ernesto Lugaro
TRUE OR FALSE: Every time we learn something new, we harness the power of neuroplasticity
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Neuroplasticity takes place only when the brain incurs a damage from diseases such as stroke, seizures, and degenerative conditions

This type of plasticity are experiences or memories inculcated in the brain or body
Structural Plasticity
This type of plasticity are actual reorganization changes seen in your brain using ancillary procedures
Functional Plasticity
Based on the principles of neuroplasticity, ______ are turned on based upon your motivation/mood
“Neuroplasticity switches”
Positive motivation/mood means bigger brain change. More practice means more brain change
