Document Summary

If you want to change cell a and cell b you use pre/post synaptic modulation. A relatively" permanent change in behavior (skill) due to practice. Perceptual trace built up over practice is reference for comparisons (errors) Schmidts schema theory schema generalized motor program, there"s not a separate trace (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) You just need to learn the rules not the practice (learn the equation. Parameters: features of a movement such as time, duration, force, scaling these parameters result in variations among a class of movements. Open skill things that are unpredictable in the environment (eg. soccer, basketball: you cant plan everything. Closed skill things that are predictable in the environment (eg. diving, darts, golfing: in a closed skill you can plan everything (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Discrete skills definite beginning and end (throwing a dart) Serial skills when you put discrete skills back to back to back (a sequence.
