Document Summary
Motor control: understanding how the neuromuscular system functions to activate to coordinate the muscles and limbs involved in the performance of a motor skill. Coordination: the patterning of the body and limb motions relative to each other and to the environmental objects and events. Motor learning: study of processes involved in acquiring and refining motor skills that promote or inhibit that acquisition. Skill: an action or task that has specific goals to achieve. Movements: behavioral characteristics of specific limbs that are components of a skill (building blocks of a skill. Ability: a stable trait or capacity of the individual that is a determinant of a person"s potential for the performance of a specific skill. Absolute error: the absolute difference in relevant units between criterion and the performance outcome. Radial error: absolute error of two dimensional tasks. Constant error: represents magnitude of error in a specific direction.
