Term
Working memory is considered to be similar to:
Definition
Short-term memory, conscious thought and short-term storage
Term
The loss of movement information is due to which of the following:
Definition
Retroactive interference and proactive interference
Term
When new information interferes with the recall of previously learned information, we typically attribute this to:
Definition
Retroactive interference
Term
Which of the following is the best example of a closed skill?
Definition
Indoor archery
Term
Reaction time increases as task complexity decreases.
Definition
False
Term
Efferent information only moves from responses execution to the muscles.
Definition
True
Term
The more predictable an event, the more potential it holds for information.
Definition
True
Term
Free recall promotes more error then serial recall.
Definition
True
Term
Putting the shot put is an open skill.
Definition
False
Term
Reaction time increases as the number of decisions decrease.
Definition
False
Term
As response efficiency increases, neural activation increases.
Definition
True
Term
Processing feedback is not a factor in determining movement time.
Definition
False
Term
Open loop control is more likely during the associative stage of learning.
Definition
False
Term
Reaction time is the time difference between the stimulus and response
termination.
Definition
False
Term
Selective attention bottle necks information from serial processing to parallel processing.
Definition
False
Term
Bottom up processing is more efficient then top down processing.
Definition
False
Term
The von Restorff effect indicates that the unique item is lost but adjacent items
are remembered.
Definition
False
Term
Repetitive practice of the criteria response is the key to building motor memory.
Definition
True
Term
Afferent signals are involved in feedback and feed forward/expectation loops for
motor control.
Definition
False
Term
One can determine cause/effect relationships from correlated observations.
Definition
False
Term
One processes more information during top-down processing as compared to
bottom-up processing.
Definition
True
Term
What is the number one difference between the box model and the levels of processing model?
Definition
The quality of type. The levels of processing model distinguishes between the quality of practice, while the box model does not.
Term
Stages of learning: cognitive
Definition
Knowing what to do
Term
Stages of learning: associative phase
Definition
Using feedback
Term
Stages of learning: autonomous
Definition
Recall is becoming automatic, low reliance on feedback
Term
Retroactive Interference
Definition
a source of forgetting caused by practice imposed between the original learning and the retention test for the to-be remembered task (new interferes with old)
Term
Proactive Interference
Definition
a source of forgetting caused by learning imposed before the original learning of some to-be remembered task (old interfering with new)
Term
Long-term memory
Definition
limitless memory store for abstractly coded info, facts, concepts and relationships; storage of movement programs
Term
Short-term memory
Definition
capacity of seven elements, capable of holding moderately abstract info for up to 30 seconds; processing "work space"
Term
Closed skill
Definition
skills performed in stable or predictable conditions
Term
Close loop control
Definition
use feedback to control the response
Term
Open loop control
Definition
use feed back after the response to prepare for next response
Term
von Rostoff Effect
Definition
we can remember something in the middle that is unique but it is at the expense of what comes before and after it (we forget those two)
