Effective target width is a measure of __________.a) speed b) timing d) accuracy d) amplitude -
ANSWER: practice

what control system sends commands to the effector without receiving feed back and is used for
rapid, discrete movements? - ANSWER: Open-Loop control

evidence for _________ ________________ includes, electromyography (EMG),reaction time (RT),
and deafferentation. - ANSWER: motor programing

The motor program fails to explain ? - ANSWER: Novel tasks and storage problems

____________ is a centrally located control mechanism that produces genetic, repetitive actions; it is
similar to a motor program and triggered by some stimulus and seems to use patterns for activation. -
ANSWER: A central pattern generator

____________ theory suggests that there is a stored pattern of movement instead of a specific
movement. It allows flexibility in modifying the generalized program to produce various patterns to
meet the demands of the task. - ANSWER: Generalized motor program

_____________ is a surgical procedure in which a bundle of nerves is severed and results in the
prevention of nerve impulses reaching the spinal cord; animal experiments using this surgery provide
evidence for motor programs. - ANSWER: Deafferentation

Fitts' Law states that __________ is linearly related to index of difficulty (ID). - ANSWER: Movement
time (MT)

Effective target width is a measure of __________. - ANSWER: accuracy

The major roles of open-loop organizations in motor programs include all of the following except

Answers:

(A) define and issue commands to the musculature
(B)organize degrees of freedom of the muscles and joints into a single unit
(C)prevent postural adjustments in preparation for action
(D)modulate reflex pathways to ensure achievement of the movement goal - ANSWER: C

Fitts' Law tells us all of the following except

Answers:

(A)MT decreases as movement amplitude increases
(B)MT increases as the target width decreases
(C)MT increases as the aiming accuracy requirement increases
(D)the principles of Fitts' Law are valid for a variety of body parts used - ANSWER: A

A(n) __________ coordination pattern is more stable. - ANSWER: in-phase

____________ is accuracy expressed as the amount of spread or inconsistency of the movement end
points about the target area. - ANSWER: effective target width

, When the timing of performance of a rapid movement is important,__________ is the type of
accuracy required - ANSWER: temporal accuracy

When a person attempts to produce the same force on repeated trials, __________ is thought to be
caused by relatively noisy processes that convert central nervous system impulses into activation of
muscle motor units.
a) stability
b) variability
c) auditory distraction
d) timing consistency - ANSWER: b) variability

Visual illusions can create different perceptions of a target, but the ________ remains the same. -
ANSWER: actual size of target

A(n) __________ coordination pattern is more stable.
a) in-phase
b) anti-phase
c) 90 degree
d) 40 degree - ANSWER: a) in-phase

____________ is the type of accuracy required of rapid movements in which accuracy of the
movement time is important to the performance.
a) Spatial accuracy
b) Temporal accuracy
c) Timing accuracy
d) Velocity accuracy - ANSWER: b) Temporal accuracy

Investigators from the __________ perspective state that the regularities of movement patterns are
not represented in programs but emerge naturally out of the complex interactions among degrees of
freedom.
a) GMP
b) self-organization
c) black box
d) degrees of freedom - ANSWER: b) self-organization

Fitts' Law states that __________ is linearly related to index of difficulty (ID).
a) width of the target
b) amplitude of the movement
c) reaction time
d) movement time - ANSWER: d) movement time

____________ is the spread, or variability, of a person's movement end points about their own mean
position for repeated attempts of a rapid aiming task.
a) Effective target width
b) Spatial accuracy
c) Linear speed-accuracy trade-off
d) Generalized motor program - ANSWER: a) Effective target width

While a novice moves her head in the same direction as the putter, an expert moves her head
_________ during a golf putt to deal with the "head problem."
a) slowly in the same direction of the putter
b) not at all
c) in the opposite direction of the putter
d) quickly in the same direction of the putter - ANSWER: c) in the opposite direction of the putter

An early view that a single global ability is the basis for all motor behavior (now viewed as incorrect)
