Q

what happens in the case of a blink reflex

A

rods and cones are sensors and the muscles that control the eyelids are where the efferent neurons signal

Q

what happens when the tendon in the quad muscle is tapped

A

muscle is streched and muscle spindles respond to the stretch with an increase in AP
- this goes to the spine
- efferent signal back to muscle axons
- muscle contracts

Q

what causes the reflex/muscle contraction

A

the increase in the number of ap in afferent axons
causes motor neurons to fire ap and excite and contract stretched muscle

16
Q

when is the subject correct

A

slider in within 0.5 cm of 10.cm

17
Q

last 10 trails?

A

subject is told the excact distance they are from 10.cm

18
Q

last step

A

repeat 10 trails with no info

19
Q

what do we do with the results

A

graph a magnitude of error vs number of trails

20
Q

describe transfer of learning

A

a habit already exstablished has an influence on the relearning or performance of a second habit

21
Q

transfer of learning can be

A

positive or negative or both

22
Q

what is bilateral transfer of skill

A

transfer can occur if skill is learned in one hand then attempted in the other
- aka a transfer of skill from one side of the body to another (cross-transfer or bilateral trans)

23
Q

Mirror star trace apparatus

A
  • trail 1 use non perfered hand to try draw star clock wise in the mirror
  • always in contact with plate
    1-trial
24
Q

what other details of star procedure

A

must be done fast and we record errors
total score = error x2

25
Q

what happens on the next step with the next hand

A

use preferred hand and do 10 trails

26
Q

what happens at trail 12

A

do the non dominant hand again
