Week 2- Motor Learning Flashcards
Motor Learning
Acquisition and/or modification of movement
- After injury, reacquisition of movement skills lost
- Processes associated w/ practice or experience leading to permanent changes in skill
What does motor learning result from?
Experience and/or practice
How do we know motor learning has taken place?
- Inferred from behavior
- Individual can perform task effectively and w/o thinking about it in a variety of circumstances and contexts
What does motor learning produce?
Permanent changes in behavior
What role does time play in motor learning?
A break needs to be there to establish retention of learning
Times of long-term memory
- Explicit
- Implicit
Types of Explicit Memory
- Semantic
- Episodic
Types of Implicit Memory
- Procedural
- Priming
- Conditioning
- Nonassociative learning
Semantic Learning
Book learning, knowledge
Episodic Learning
Memory related to events
What is the relationship b/t declarative and nondeclarative memory?
We use declarative learning (requires intent) for learning new tasks, and we hope it will transition to nondeclarative memory
Procedural Learning
Developed slowly through repetition
Priming Learning
-
Conditioning Learning
Predicting relationships
Nonassociative learning
Habituation and sensitization
