SPH K452 Motor Learning MidtermMotor performance is affected by many factors, resulting in performance fluctuations that may
be permanent in nature. - ANS-B false
Motor learning is characterized by changes in internal processes that determine an individual's
capability for producing a motor task. These changes are classified as temporary in nature. -
ANS-B false
For a movement to qualify as a skill it does not have to have a desired environmental goal. -
ANS-B false
Achieving a goal in a minimum time is a feature of skill. - ANS-A true
Being skilled implies meeting the desired goal with maximum certainty. - ANS-A true
A major feature of skill is the minimization of energy required for performance. - ANS-A true
According to H.W. Johnson's (1961) categorization, which of the following factors does not play
a role in determining skill:
a. Strength
b. Speed
c. Accuracy
d. Form
e. Adaptability - ANS-A.strength
Which of the following is not one of the notable individuals listed in class?
a. Paul M. Fitts
b. Franklin M. Henry
c. Richard B. Smith
d. Jack A. Adams
e. Richard A. Schmidt - ANS-C
Discrete motor skills are the one not mentioned in public - ANS-B false
Continuous motor skills have an easy to identify beginning and ending. - ANS-B false
An example of a serial motor skill given in class is pole vaulting. - ANS-A true
Variable error tells you how consistent the performance is. - ANS-A true
, Constant error tells you how consistent the performance is. - ANS-B false
Reaction time is the time between the beginning of a response and its completion - ANS-B false
Movement time is the time between the onset of a stimulus and the completion of the response.
- ANS-B false
Performing a task faster often reduces the accuracy of the performance. - ANS-A true
A secondary task/distractor task can be used to measure the attention necessary to perform a
task. - ANS-A true
The process-oriented approach to studying skills concentrates exclusively on the task
performance. - ANS-B false
An example of movement kinematics is the measurement of arm velocity throughout a
movement (e.g., throwing a ball ). - ANS-A true
A skill performed in an environment which is unpredictable is a
a. Discrete skill
b. Serial skill
c. Open skill
d. Closed skill - ANS-C
Basketball is an example of an "open" skill. - ANS-true
A low correlation (either positive or negative) allows accurate prediction of performance on one
test from performance on a different test. - ANS-false
Response Organization - ANS-d
Decision Making - ANS-e
Short-Term Memory - ANS-b
Short-Term Memory - ANS-a
Long-Term Memory - ANS-c
Response Programming - ANS-c
Response Selection - ANS-b
