Term
control circuits
Definition
special circuits that influence movement -- help control different & complex activities of both direct & indirect motor systems.
Term
what are two components or aspects of control circuits
Definition
planning & control based on knowledge of posture, body orientation in space, muscle tone & physical environment in which movment occurs. Appropriate posture & muscle tone configured according to goal of voluntary action.
Term
control circuit systems
Definition
basal ganglia & cerebellum
Term
What are the subdivisions of the conceptual planning level?
Definition
1. conceptualization 2. linguistic planning 3. motor planning & programming 4. performance 5. feedback
Term
conceptualization
Definition
cognitive & affective level (thought level) -- an intention or desire to do something; the development of a purpose (PLAN) for action. Precedes word specification & movement initiation.
Term
Where is conceptualization located in the brain?
Definition
ALL OVER - every lobe & subcortical area that supports thought formulation & action.
Term
linguistic planning
Definition
a non-motor level -- involves cognitive operations on abstract rules (phonological, semantic & syntactic units)
Term
What are 4 requirement for linguistic planning?
Definition
attention, retrieval, working memory & ability to discard actively processing utterances already formulated & executed.
Term
What is the location of linguistic planning?
Definition
dominant (left) hemisphere perisylvian cortex (Heschl's gyrus, Wernicke's area, Broca's area)
Term
What is the effect of a lesion in the linguistic planning area of the brain?
Definition
aphasia
Term
Motor planning & programming
Definition
DEFINES MOTOR GOALS -- it is the heart of conceptual-programming level. Motor planning and motor programming are connected but ARE NOT synonymous with each other.
Term
What 4 areas influence motor planning and programming?
Definition
control circuits, limbic system, right hemisphere, and reticular formation & thalamus.
Term
How do the control circuits influence motor planning and programming?
Definition
only role-modify cortical activity & direct & indirect pathway signals to speech muscles.
Term
How does the limbic system influence motor planning & programming?
Definition
Regulates memory, learning, drive, motivation & affect (emotions, prosody)
Term
How does the right hemisphere influence motor planning and programming?
Definition
Coordinates with the left hemisphere & important in perception & motor organization of PROSODY.
Term
How does the reticular formation & thalamus influence motor planning and programming?
Definition
maintains alertness, monitors sensory input, refines motor activity influencing Propositional content & muscular adequacy for speech.
Term
Feedback
Definition
You cannot have a motor movement without feedback saying it did or did not happen. essential to normal functioning -- sensory return of information & monitoring -- permits refinement and/or modifications
Term
What is schema theory?
Definition
Assumes production of rapid discrete movements involves "units of action" (motor programs). It is retrieved from memory & adapted to a particular situation.
Term
what are the two elements of schema theory?
Definition
motor program and schemas
Term
Schema theory: Motor programming
Definition
An organized set of motor commands that can be specified BEFORE movement initiation.
Term
Program is ____________ to account for the fact that movements are never produced exactly the same, yet maintain essential characteristics.
Definition
generalized
Term
schema: relationships (def)
Definition
memories that are encoded of the relationships among different types of information.
Term
to instruct specific muscles & control body movements, the motor system must know the relations among what four things?
Definition
initial conditions, generated motor command, sensory consequences of movement, outcome of the movement
Term
New information of movement is used to update or create two different schemas. What are they?
Definition
Recall Schema, Recognition schema
Term
Recall schema
Definition
encodes relations among initial conditions, parameters that were used to execute movement, and outcomes of the movement.
Term
To produce a movement, what 2 things must occur?
Definition
motor system supplies recall schema with movement goal and current conditions. The recall schema computes the appropriate parameters.
Term
Recognition schema
Definition
encodes relations among initial conditions, sensory consequences of movements, and outcome of movements
Term
Motor learning
Definition
Before recognition schema can be used to judge the accuracy of a movement, the motor system must LEARN which sensory consequence is considered correct.
Term
chunking
Definition
formulation of a series of gross motor plans that occur in a particular serial order into a single larger GMP. this is an integral part of motor programming.
Term
Apraxia of speech may involve ...Deficit in activating &/or parameterizing GMPs
Definition
Deficit in activating &/or parameterizing GMPs due to damaged GMP, schema supplying parameter settings is impaired; sensory impairment may disturb motor programming; poor error detection may damage recognition schema.
