KINS 375 Final Exam Review

Developmental perspective

pertains to manner in which all humans develop

incompatible motor response

when response is not appropriate to the stimulus

can a neurosensory disorder easily be detected

No

afferent neurons

take neurosensory information to the brain (add)

efferent neurons

take neurosensory information away from the brain (exit)

brain

the executive level relative to human movement

how many sections is the spinal cord divided into?

7

what are the 7 sections of the spinal cord (in order)

cervical

thoracic

lumbar

sacrum

coccyx

what cortex is located on the frontal lobe of the brain

motor cortex

reaction time

amount of time that elapses between the stimulus presentation and the motor response

what are the 3 primary components of human information processing

stiumulus, information professing, motor response (output)

gross motor skill

larger muscle groups (running, walking)

fine motor skill

small muscle groups (writing, catching)

coronal plane (frontal)

divide body front to back

sagittal plane

divide body left and right

transverse plane

divide body from top to bottom

what does all human movement begin as?

reflex

dynamic balance

balance while moving

static balance

balance standing still

relative to information processing, the executive level is considered to be what component?

2nd

coding

pertains to manner in which info is learned and/or stored

lumbar

3rd area of spinal cord

serial task

order that the movement is performed is important

dynamic environment

unstable; environment tends to change; chaotic

contextual interference

pertains to changing factors impacting the environment

feedback

important for purpose of improving future movement

voluntary movement

movement that individual can control

involuntary movement

movement that can’t be controlled

muscle extension

when muscle is elongated

short term memory

things that are not important are placed here

long term memory

important things are stored here

example of human neural pathways

brain and spinal cord

temporal anticipation

person attempting to time when the stimulus will be presented

arousal

getting excited about performing motor task

what is the relationship between stress/anxiety and motor response

negative

spatial anticipation

person’s perception regarding ability to fit into space

U Principle Arousal Theory

with an increase in arousal, there is better performance levels; however when the arousal levels plateau (peak) then the performance levels begin to go down

coordination

using parts of body to move (idk)

bimanual task

involves use of two or more limbs to produce movment

structural interference

person’s physical inability to perform a motor movement/motor task

ipsilateral

movement on one side of body

contralateral

movement on opposite side of body

genetic predisposition

more likely to have trait if parent had it

6-12 months

when developmental milestones occur

age 5

when developmental delays are determined

Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotive

3 domains that humans develop

Cognitive

brain, thinking

Affective

social, attitudes, interactions

Psychomotor

brain processing, movement

Motor control

CNS of muscles/joints

tactile sensory disorder

touch impairment

ossicles

fluid chambers in ear

function of ossicles

maintain equilibrium and balance

manipulation

upper body (fine motor skill)

mobility

lower body (gross motor skill)

Behavioral Level of Analysis (BLA)

motor skill being observable & measurable

propioceptors

receives info and processes

limited

Is human attention limited or unlimited?

force

amount of effort exerted against body

pre planning

human preparing to initiate a movement

attention deficit

person’s inability to pay attention

relationship b/w attention and conscious level

positive
