Document Summary

Preparation/ anticipation: late reaction mic pennissi funny late reaction (he wasn"t prepared in advance, measuring your dumbness with a ruler in slow motion (movement blocking, reaction (sprinter"s in blocks) Burst amplitude and duration are : 2) antagonist burst (ant) Burst amplitude and timing inluenced by movement extent and velocity. Example: 3) second agonist burst (ag2) Inluenced by strategy - helps to clamp" limb at target position. The precue method move to a button that lights up: results: advance information about arm, direction or extent (amplitude reduce rt by 100-150ms. Knowing which arm reduces rt by 150ms. Knowing the amplitude of the movement reduces rt by. 100 ms: reduction in rt cannot be explained simply as a reduction in uncertainty. Startle rt certain movements you can completely plan in advance, others you cannot and some you can partially plan: if you know what you are going to do that can help plan movement accordingly.
