Document Summary
Kinesiology 1080b: topic #5 - measurement, interpretation, and evaluation of motor skill performance. Measuring motor behaviour: performance outcome, describing the movement, measuring activity of the cns, performance outcome, measures of time and speed. Interval between the onset of signal and the initiation of a response. Reaction time tasks: warning signal, go signal, movement starts, movement ends. Time between warning signal and go signal (foreperiod) must be randomized in experiments. 200-250 ms is a good reaction time to a simple reaction time task: 1 stimulus, 1 response. Simple reaction time is all sensory, no real decision is being made. Choice reaction time involves higher level cognitive control, a choice is being made: slower reaction time than in a simple reaction time test. The international association of athletic federations criterion for a spring false start is. 1: we can"t respond in under 100ms, this 100ms allows athletes to predict when the gun will go off.
