Kinesiology 1080A/B Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Motor Learning, Triceps Brachii Muscle, Motor Control
Document Summary
Messages sent from brain to extrasfusal muscle fibers. Intra very in tune with the environment. Ex: leaning over a cliff you tighten up and lean less than you would over the ground. Meaning you can retain the skill learned and use the skill again (riding a bike) Motor learning -> a set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to a relatively permanent gain in performance capability. Motor control -> an area of study dealing with the understanding of the neural, physical and behavioral aspects of movement. Ex: studying the deficits associated with damage to certain parts of the brain (neural) Ex: studying reaction time and certain action- the actual actions (behavior: none. Basic tests that are not done at the same time -> unlike when flying a plane and. Melton -> better scores on the test means better fighter pilot everything happens at the same time.
