Document Summary
Concept: the measurement of motor performance is critical to understanding motor learning. Two general categories of performance measurements: performance outcome measures, category of motor skill performance that indicates the outcome or result of performing a motor skill. Common measure indicating how long it takes a person to prepare and initiate a movement. A stimulus or go signal is the indication to act. Events and time intervals of reaction time and movement time. Use of reaction time in research and performance assessment. Rt has a long history as an index to assess specific aspects of human performance. Rt is used as a means to. Infer what a performer does to prepare to perform an action. Identify the environmental context information a person uses to prepare to perform an action. Assess the capabilities of a person to anticipate a required action and determine when to initiate it (in sports reacting faster will allow you to have more success)
