motor learning definition - Answer A set of processes associated with practice or
experience leading to relatively permanent changes in the capability for movement
motor learning concepts - Answer motor learning is not directly observable
- consistent and accurate performance indicates (and leads to learning)
motor adaptation vs. learning
- short-term improvement vs. permanent change
neural plasticity enables motor learning
- changes to neural representations (change in neurons in brain, new "highways")
neural plasticity changes in responsiveness - Answer changes of responsiveness of the
polysynaptic neuron
long term potentiation: increasing responsiveness of a neuron
long term depression: decreasing responsiveness of a neuron
neural plasticity - potential for pathways to be reorganized - Answer based on
experience developing and learning
changes in number of synaptic connections
Synaptic Proliferation Increased synaptic connections between the neurons Synaptic
Pruning Eliminate unused synaptic connections. It enhances the efficiency of synaptic
transmission
, Measuring motor learning Response performance curve The improvement in
performance: Accuracy, speed, and precision. A reduction in errors.
Asymptote The highest performance level is reached Little or no further improvement
Performance/ learning curves Response Negatively or positively accelerated.
Individual performance curves are not smooth - Based on average pattern
The power law of practice - Answer Logarithm of performance is linearly related to
logarithm of amount of practice
Good conditions for learning and good methods for practice - Answer - Accurate and
consistent performance
- Permanence of Learning
- Generalisability/transfer Good conditions of practice can.
- Enhance performance/learning-Increase efficiency in learning
- make practice more enjoyable (encourage longer-term engagement)
motor learning research - A compare groups practicing under different conditions
measure (rates of) performance change in each group/condition
adaptation - A immediate post-training effect
learning - A assessed after each day (retention)
retention - A performance re-assessed after some time interval
- evidence of learning
transfer - A asses generalization of learning to other tasks/contexts
