APA 2120 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Offline Learning, Basal Ganglia, Motor Learning
Document Summary
2 behavioural effects: offline learning, studying all night and waking up the next morning, memory stabilization, how ineffective it is my experiencing other practice conditions. Consolidation: to measure more permanent effects of practice variables, we use delayed retention test. Variable practice: using the same gmp (generalized motor program), what controls entire class of movements, constant: same parameters. Results: no difference between the end of acquisition for variable and constant practice, variable practice learned for affectively than constant practice. If had dorsal affected did not learn good. Most executive function; cognitive activity that helps process different parameters. M1 was affected and dorsal was not less effective for learning relies on. Variability can be scheduled in a block vs random fashion. Hall study: one group faced block practice (fast, curve, change-up, second group had a random of fast, curve, and change-up, group than practiced randomly performed better on block and random test third group just had normal batting practice.
