Planar Angle - a figure made by two intersecting likes or planes - an angular measure of space Units of Planar Angle - radians (2pi) - Degrees (360) - revolutions (1 rev) Time - a monotonically increasing quantity - uni-directional - measured in seconds Matter - any physical body or substance that occupies space - solid, liquid, gas, plasma Mass (M) - how much matter is in a material body? Volume (V) - how much space does a material body occupy? Density (P) - mass / volume Ki...

human nervous system CNS: brain and spinal cord encased by skull and vertebrae PNS: neurons and nerve processes outside CNS motor control mechanisms underlying movement motor learning study of mechanisms in acquiring and improving motor skills processes associated with practice or learning leading to relatively permanent changes in movement capabilities motor development changes in motor behavior reflecting its interactions as it grows multidimensional and multidirectional lifelong pro...

role of nervous system and musculoskeletal system 1. motor skills develop in parallel with brain maturation 2. movement is dependent on the integrity and functioning of the nervous and msk systems nervous system 1. capability to engage in cognitive processing 2. transmit sensory and motor signals musculoskeletal capability to generate and maintain the forces needed to move the body parts interacts with nervous system lifespan in motor development lifelong multidimensional m...

Active/endogenous movement resulting from muscular contractions: voluntary movement reflexes Passive/exogenous movement movement resulting from forces that are external to the body: - gravity - supportive devices - other bodies/objects Reflex involuntary response to specific stimuli, short latency (fast), born with them (innate) Voluntary action/motor skill long latency (slower), resulting from high order cognitive processing, you make decision to do this action, adaptable, response ...

why study motor behaviour connects to: - teaching/learning - human ergo - diagnosis/rehabilitation of neural and muscular disorder subdisciplines of motor behaviour are motor control motor learning motor development whats motor control cognitive and neural processing associated with planning and execution - milliseconds whats motor learning process of learning permanent changes in movement capability - hours/days/weeks whats motor development processes and factors leading to develo...

Why do we study Motor Behavior? To teach/coach/learn; for diagnosis/rehabilitation; and for human factors/ergonimcs What systems are used to create movement? Human, central, and peripheral nervous systems What are the subdisciplines of Motor Behavior? motor control, motor learning, motor development What is Motor Control? Study of cognitive and central nervous systems mechanisms underlying movement What is Motor Learning? Study of mechanisms involved in acquiring and improving motor ski...

1. - Brain - Spinal Cord 1.What's does the central nervous system comprise of? 2.- Neurons and Nerve Processes - Receptors in the Skin - Body Muscle Signals - Connections to Organs 2.What's the peripheral nervous system? 3.ENVIRONMENTAL AND INTERNAL STIMULI - Sensory Receptors (PNS) - Stimulus Identification (Executive CNS) - Response Selection (Executive CNS) - Response Programming (Executive CNS) - Spinal Cord (CNS) - Peripheral Nerve (PNS) - Muscles - ACTION - (back up to top) ...

Motor Behavior Study of movement and its underlying processes. Motor Control Cognitive and CNS mechanisms for executing movements. Motor Learning Acquiring and improving motor skills over time. Motor Development Changes in movement capabilities throughout life. Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain and spine encased in protective structures. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Sensory and motor connections to body and organs. Reflex Actions Involuntary responses to specific stimuli. Volun...
