Neuroscience and Motor Skills Quiz

Neurons is

• a single body cell and all the muscle fibers its axon supplies.

• a single nerve cell consisting of a cell body and one or more projections.

• an axon emerges from the spinal cord and travels by way of a peripheral nerve to the muscle.

__________ receptors signal dangerously high tension in muscle- preventing damage to the musculotendinous juncture.

• Skin

• Joint

• Tendon

Describe the development of human growth.

• It is a quantitative change in the childhood's functioning.

• Refers to a progressive increase in skill and capacity of function.

• The level of maturation depends on adulthood's heredity.

Learning can be described as

• permanent change in a personal's ability to execute a motor skill as a result of practice or experience doing the skill.

• any skills involve fundamental movements and detect important information.

• specify the biomechanic characteristics to successfully perform a skill.

Three (3) types of skill transfer are

• near, far and skill modification

• positive transfer, negative transfer and zero transfer.

• open, zero and closed transfer

There are three stages in Fitt and Posner Model learning theory. Describe the arrangement of the theory:

• Associative Stage, Autonomous Stage, Cognitive stage

• Cognitive stage, Associative Stage, Autonomous Stage

• Autonomous Stage, Cognitive stage, Associative Stage

Fitts and Posner (1967) proposed motor skill learning involved three stages. Cognitive stage refer to

• Refine a particualar movement strategy

• Learn what to do

• Require high degree of attention

• Learn about the task and goals

Growth refers to

• increase in physical size of body or any of its parts .

• can't be measured through observation.

• a qualities change in the child's body.

Retroactive skill transfer is

• New values and experiences brought to sports by women

• involve fundamental movements.

• the effect that learning a new skill has upon a previously learnt skill.

• the possess different type of kinematics.

A skill learnt in the past affects a skill currently being learnt or to be learnt in the future. This statement is referring to _______________.

• Proactive transfer

• Retroactive transfer

• Negative transfer
