ThEx Motor task learning Flashcards
Types pf motor tasks?(3)
Discrete
Serial
Continuous
Discrete task?
An action or movement with a beginning or end.
Serial task?
A series of discrete movements.
Continuous task?
Repetitive, uninterupted movement that has no distinct beggining or end.
Conditions of motor tasks?
- Environmental
- Internal variability (absent/present) What does this mean?
- Body?
- objects are____ or not.
Environment: closed/open
Intertrial variablity: Absent/present (does the environment change from one task to the next?)
Body: Stable or transport (is the patient moving or not?)
Manipulation of objects: absent/present
Stages of motor learning?
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
The cognitive stage of motor tasks involves?
Pt makes a lot of mistakes
needs a lot of feedback
Associative stage of motor learning involves?
More self correction, less mistakes, less feedback.
Autonomous stage involves?
Few mistakes, little feedback, and self correction
Part practice? Practicing parts of a task is better when? And comprised of?
Part is better at early stages for learning each component of a complex or serial task.
Whole practice? Practicing a whole task is better when? Composed of?
Whole is better at later stages or when practicing serial (a task with a series of actions) and continuous skills (ie walking).
Blocked practice? Is more effective when? Improves KP or KR?
Same (series of) task(s), same conditions, same order.
More effective in the beginning stages and improves performance of tasks.
Random practice? Is more effective for?
A varied series of tasks, conditions, order of tasks.
More effective for retention.
Random blocked order practice?
A veried series of tasks, conditions, order but series are all repeated.
Intrinsic feedback?
From the learner’s sensory systems.
