1.The dynamic systems theory of motor control is able to account for the four characteristics of human movement through the process of: none of the above
2. The reflex theory of motor control cannot account for which characteristic of human movement uniqueness 3. Open-loop motor control relies on sensory feedback to guide the completion of the movement.
False
4. One weakness of the reflex theory of motor control is that: it cannot explain how humans can perform unique movements
5. Degrees of freedom can be defined as: any of a limited number of ways in which a body may move or in which a dynamic system may change
According to the reflex theory of motor control, muscle response synergies are the elementary units of behavior.
False
Motor equivalence refers to the fact that particular tasks can be accomplished in a variety of ways. True
The definition of coordination is: The process by which an individual constrains, or condenses, the available degrees of freedom into the smallest number necessary to achieve the goal.
When performing movements that require precision, we are most likely to use a _____ loop mode of control. Closed
Action systems theory is also known as: Dynamic systems theory
The dynamic systems theory of motor control is able to account for the four characteristics of human movement through the process of: self-organization
According to the reflex theory of motor control, GENERALIZED motor programs are the elementary units of behavior False
Which theory of motor control can be summed up in the following statement? "A chain of action was thought to be triggered by some external stimulus that resulted in an observable movement response." reflex theory
One theoretical problem with the motor program concept that led to the development of the generalized motor program was the motor program concept could not explain how humans produced novel movements
The open-loop mode of motor control is utilized during
