Document Summary
Found that people were quicker when they responded to a person creating an action as opposed to themselves creating action (stimulus triggered actions are completed faster than intentional actions) There are less pathways operating when there is a stimulus triggered action= so less complications to the reaction. The recruitment of motor units within a muscle proceeds from small motor units to large ones. Lower force contraction, nearly all force produced by slowest motor units. If larger, larger motor neurons starts to fire (topic #4) classifying and identifying motor skills. Motor skills can be classified" used three schemes: task organization. A. discrete skill: a skill that is organized such that the action is usually brief and has a well-defined beginning and end. Serial skill: a type of skill characterized by serial discrete actions connected together in a sequence. ** during skill learning we generally progress from cognitive to motor** 3 stages of learning a motor skill: cognitive stage.
