Understanding cognitive and neural processes in planning actions Definition of motor control? Practiced trait that leads to a permanent change in movement capability Definition of motor learning? Understanding changes in performance and learning across a lifespan Definition of motor development? Control - milliseconds Learning - hours, days, weeks Development - months, years, decades Timelines of Motor - control, learning, development - The focus on sensory information Stimulus Identification - Response Selection - Response Programming What's a behavioural research approach? And the 3 "steps" - Neural Events - Specific Activity of Neurons - General Activity in Brain Areas during our Behaviour What's a neuroscience approach? A task requiring voluntary control over movement Definition of a motor skill Muscular contractions - voluntary - reflexes What's a active movement External forces - gravity - support What's a passive movement - Involuntary and Stereotyped - Short latency (fast) - Innate (not learned) - Generally a response to stimulus What's a reflex action? - Higher order cognitive processing - Longer latency (slower) - Protective or harmful - Learned - Response related to but not determined by stimulus What's a voluntary action? 1. size of muscle groups involved 2. task organisation 3. predictability of the environment What are the 3 skill classification: task perspective?
