Q

Describe the 2 possible paths of closed-loop control systems.

A
  • desired state –> executive system –> expected state –> comparator –> error signal

Q

Describe the closed loop system for air temperature.

A
  • control center (executive)
  • air conditioning (effector)
  • increased flow of cool air (output)
  • actual temperature (feedback)
  • actual state
  • thermostat (comparator)
  • difference in actual and desired temperature (error)
  • too warm (input)
18
Q

What is open loop control?

A

a type of system in which instructions for the effector system are determined in advance and run off without feedback

19
Q

What is closed loop control?

A

a type of system control involving feedback, error detection, error correction that is applicable to maintaining a system goal

23
Q

Trace a star with your right hand and your left hand. What are the differences? Is there a part of tracing that is open loop controlled?

A

?

24
Q

Bounce a tennis ball and catch it. What part of this movement is open loop and what part is closed loop?

A

?

25
Q

What are some limitations of the closed loop system?

A
  • 3 corrections per second

- slow: especially if high demand for processing time (i.e. non-dominant hand)

26
Q

What are the positives of the closed loop system?

A

it provides flexibility in movement control

27
Q

What are the 4 muscle response types?

A
  • M1 response
  • M2 response
  • triggered reaction
  • reaction-time response
28
Q

Describe M1 response.

A
  • latency: 30-50 ms
  • almost no flexibility or adaptability
  • instructions have no role
  • number of choices has no effect
29
Q

Describe M2 response.

A
  • latency: 50-80 ms
  • low flexibility or adaptability
  • instructions have some role
  • number of choices can possibly have effect
30
Q

Describe triggered reaction response.

A
  • latency: 80-120 ms
  • moderate flexibility or adaptability
  • instructions have large role
  • number of choices have a moderate effect
31
Q

Describe reaction-time response.

A
  • latency: 120-180 ms
  • very high flexibility or adaptability
  • instructions have a very large role
  • number of choices have a large effect
32

33
Q

What is an example of M2 response?

A
