Chapter 13: Motor Control and Learning
Reaction Time
The time between the onset of a stimulus and the start of the response
Movement Time
The time it takes to complete the onset of a movement
Reaction Time + Movement Time = Response Time
Response Time
The time it takes to process information and them to make a response
Simple Reaction
Single stimulus
Single possible response
Choice Reaction Time
Several Stimuli
Single possible response
Factors that effect reaction time
Age
Gender
Stimulus intensity
Height
Level of alertness
Movement Control
The principles of speed, accuracy, and coordination
Movement too fast = more errors = less accurate
Movement Speed = movement time from start to finish
Movement Distance = distance body parts travel (range of motion)
Motion time is related to index of difficulty
Fast Movement Time = Less Accurate
Slow down when task is most difficult
