Additional Bartending Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term
Basal Ganglia
Definition

- initiate and complete movement

- activates and retrieves motor plans

- Scales movement parameters (Power, speed, direction, amplitude)

- Plays a role in cognitive & emotional aspects of behavior

- Parkinsons patients have impaired basal ganglia functioning


Term
Cerebellum
Definition

- “little brain”

- center for motor control, specifically coordination, precision, and accurate timing

-Coordination

- Regulate movements generated by cerebral cortex

- Adjust the response of muscle to stretch


Term
Vestibulocerebellum
Definition

- Sub area of Cerebellum

 - posture and equilibirum

 - most primitive part of cerebellum

 - consists of nodules and flocculus

 - connections primarily with vestibular apparatus and vestibular nuclei

 - invovled in control of balance and regulation of head and eye movments

Term
Spinocerebellum
Definition

 - sub area of cerebelum

 - muscle tone and ongoing execution of movement

 - control of posture and proximal limbs

Term
Cerebrocerebellum
Definition

 - sub area of cerebellum

 - timing and coordination of skilled movement

 - planning movements and learning of sequences

Term
Open loop
Definition

EX: DARTS - movment is so fast, no adjustments can be made

 - Movement control center (Primary motor cortex) never receives feedback, LOOP IS OPEN

 - NO FEEDBACK = NO ADJUSTMENTS MADE

 - unexpected environment changes unaccounted for

 - LEARNING does not occur, feedback needed

 - one movement command issued

Term
Closed Loop
Definition

EX: DRIVING - feedback is received so adjustments are made

 - loop is "closed" with feedback

 - environment taken into account

 - takes time to use feedback, disadvantage

 - learning occurs

Term
Adam's Model
Definition

Motor program in periphery, with auditory, visual and somatosensory feedback

1. feedback can be used DURING movement to correct

2. feedback can be used IN BETWEEN trials to alter the motor program commands

EMPHASIS ON LEARNING

Term
Stroop Test
Definition

A color is written out in a different color than the word.  Subjects must identify either written or color word.  Conflicting information = info to EXECUTIVE CONTROL

 

EX:

BLUE RED YELLOW GREEN

Term
Fitts Law
Definition

 - Describes trade off between SPEED and ACCURACY

 **Bigger target = Higher accuracy = higher movement speed

**Smaller distance b/t targets = Higher accuracy = higher movement speed

Term
Finger Wag Experiment
Definition

- impossible to quickly wag fingers alternating directions

- brain lumps quick movement into one, making fingers move together

- INPHASE = moving together

- ANTIPHASE = moving alternately

Term
Response selection
Definition

 - Time to select response depends on number of responses available and necessary

- selection determines the reaction

Term
Response Programming
Definition
executing the decision made in response selection
Term
Stimulus processing
Definition
Looking at and evaluating all the stimuli
Term
Motor Program
Definition
its predicting the type of movement based on the environment. Reducing degrees of freedom as necessary (coordinative structures) in order to perform the task
