Document Summary
Picture extrafusal muscle causes a contraction intrafusal muscle muscle spindles monitor stretch in muscle extra produce movement based on command from cns. Motor learning a set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to a relatively permanent gain in performance capability: performance benefit transient - temporary, learning benefit relatively permanent gain. Motor control an area of study dealing with the understanding of the neural, physical and behavioural aspects of movement: how the central nevrious systems allow to perform a task. The brain is a computer; the serial nature of information processing. Memory for different tasks; motor tasks versus cognitive tasks. Richard shiffrin memory for con and motor are distinct from one another research in. Arthur melton: pilots can be selected based on specific individual abilities. Franklin m. henry: examined whole body movements and developed experimental approaches to understanding how we learn to produce complex movements, motor learning getting to learn skills quickly and maintain to expand and develop.
