Term
| Kinesthesis – Proprioceptive Information |
|
Definition
–Various receptors, such as muscle spindle, joint receptor, and vestibular system, help brain process information about the body and its relative location in space |

Term
| What are the components of information processing? |
|
Definition
–Detect nature of information from sensory stimuli
–Integrate with stored memory
–Select instruction for appropriate movement
–Execute movement by activation proper muscles at the proper time |
|
|
Term
| What are the three levels of movement? |
|
Definition
Reflex - Rapid, involuntary movements
Rhythmic motor patterns - typically only initiation and termination of movement is involuntary
Voluntary - Purposeful and goal oriented, Learned and can be improved with practice |
|
|
Term
| What are the three levels of the memory system? |
|
Definition
1st - Sensory Register - Large amount of info/short time period
2nd - Short Term Memory - Conscious or working memory, limited to around 7 items with avg of 5
3rd - Long term memory - Relatively permanent |
