Document Summary
Performance and learning- oct. 12th not on midterm. We want someone to perform and learn as best as possible. The learning environment must be effortful at a physiological and a cognitive level: some drills train the muscles, while others train the sensory-motor and cognitive-motor processes. In this course, we will answer the following question: how can we improve the sensory-motor processes in learning (as opposed to performing). Know the origins of motor behaviour (fields and people: know the names and dates in lecture. Comprehend and apply the 4 task classification criteria. Everything we do on a day-to-day basis requires muscle contraction ( example: there is a spatial goal. If they contract too much or not enough, you do not produce the desired actions. Innate vs. acquired: some motor skills are innate while others are acquired, sometimes, you must voluntarily inhibit a reflex to facilitate a desired action, staring: automatic and learning processes.
