Document Summary

One dimensional classification systems: stability of the environment. Closed (stable and predictable) & open (variable and unpredictable: specifically where action begins and ends. Discrete (brief, fast, beginning, end & continuous (repetitive (no particular beginning or end) Serial motor skills are a series of discrete strung together (most activities of daily life fall into this) eg. typing notes. Absolute error is the measure of the magnitude of the error, without respect to the direction. Constant error is the measure of response bias in relation to a target or criterion measure, that is, it measures the performer"s tendency for being too fast or slow, high or low, short or long, etc. Calculating absolute error: =(cid:4666)|(cid:4666) (cid:4667)|)/n (measures overall accuracy) Calculate constant error: =(cid:4666) (cid:4667)/(this is the average error in responding eg. under. Calculate variable error: = (cid:4666)(cid:4666) (cid:4667)2/(cid:4667) (this is the inconsistency in responding)
