KPE 160 Final Tested
Questions With Revised Correct
Detailed Answers
>Latest Update>>
1. Why study Motor Behaviour? - ANSWER Movement is fundamental to:
- teaching, coaching, learning
- human factors
- diagnosis / rehabilitization of neural or muscular disorders
2. Human Nervous System - ANSWER Central Nervous System (CNS) &
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
3. Motor Behaviour - ANSWER - divided into Motor Control, Motor Learning,
Motor Development
- interconnected
4. Motor Control - ANSWER - study of cognitive and CNS mechanism
underlying movement
- Goal: to understand the cognitive and neural processes involved in planning and
execution of actions
,5. Motor Learning - ANSWER - study of mechanisms involved in acquiring
and improving motor skills
- Goal: to understand the processes associated with practice that lead to relatively
permanent change in capability for movement
6. Motor Development - ANSWER - study of changes of motor behaviour
- Goal: to understand the processes and factors leading to changes in
performance and learning across lifespan
7. Theoretical approaches to understanding movement - ANSWER a)
Cognitive / Reductionist
- function can be derived from understanding characteristics of elements
- whole is equal to the sum of the parts
b) Complex / Dynamical
- function cannot be derived from understanding characteristics of elements
- whole is greater than the sum of the parts
8. Research approaches to understanding movement - ANSWER Behaviour
approach & Neuroscience approach
9. Behaviour approach - ANSWER - role of sensory info in influencing action
- sensory info used at both conscious & unconscious level
10. Neuroscience approach - ANSWER - neural events underlying movement
,- general activity in brain areas during behaviour
- specific activity of neurons in brain area during behaviour
11. Active (endogenous) movement - ANSWER - results from muscular
contraction
- e.g. voluntary movement, reflexes
12. Passive (exogenous) movement - ANSWER - results from external forces
- e.g. gravity, supporting devices
14. Reflex action - ANSWER - INVOLUNTARY
- relatively stereotyped response to specific stimulus
- involves specific, unchanging neural network
15. Characteristics of Reflex action - ANSWER - short latency
- stereotyped
- conscious awareness does not precede response
- responses determined by stimulus
- innate
- generally protective function
17. Characteristics of Voluntary action - ANSWER - long latency
- adaptable / can be novel
- conscious awareness precede response
- response related to but not determined by stimulus
- learned
- can be protective or harmful
18. Motor skills - ANSWER - action or task that requires VOLUNTARY control
over movement
- can be viewed from
a) Task perspective --> a specific type of action
b) Performance proficiency perspective --> level of skills
19. Task Perspective - ANSWER - size of muscle groups involved --> precision
- task organization --> number of steps
- environmental predictability
20. Size of muscle groups involved - ANSWER a) Gross skills
- involves a series of muscle contractions
- accuracy does NOT matter
