performance outcome measures
a category of motor skill performance measures that indicate the outcome or result of performing a motor skill
performance production measures
a category of motor skill performance measures that indicates how the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems function during the performance of a motor skill
reaction time (RT)
the interval of time between the onset of a signal (stimulus) and the initiation of a response
movement time (MT)
the interval of time between the initiation of a movement and the completion of the movement
response time
the time interval involving both reaction time and movement time; that is, the time from the onset of a signal (stimulus) that requires only one response
simple RT
the reaction time when the situation involves only one signal and each signal requires only one response
choice RT
the reaction time when the situation involves more than one signal and each signal requires its own specific response
discrimination RT
the reaction time when the situation involves more than one signal but only one response, which is to only one of the signals; the other signals require no response
absolute error (AE)
the unsigned deviation from the target or criterion, representing amount of error. A measure of the magnitude of an error without regard to the direction of the deviation
constant error (CE)
the signed (+/-) deviation from the target or criterion; it represents amount and direction of error and serves as a measure of performance bias
variable error (VE)
an error score representing the variability of performance
root-mean-squared error (RMSE)
an error measure used for continuous skills to indicate the amount of error between the performance curve produced and the criterion performance is sampled
kinematics
the description of motion without regard to force or mass; it includes displacement, velocity, and acceleration
displacement
a kinematic measure describing changes in the spatial positions of a limb or joint during movement
velocity
a kinematic measure describing the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time
acceleration
a kinematic measure that describes change in velocity during movement
kinetics
the study of the role of force as a cause of motion
EMG (electromyography)
a measurement technique that records the electrical activity of a muscle or group of muscles
EEG ( electroencephalography)
the recording of brain activity by the detection of electrical activity in specific areas on the surface of the cortex by several surface electrodes placed on a person's scalp.
fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging)
a brain scanning technique that asses changes i blood flow by detecting blood oxygenation characteristics while a person is performing a skill or activity in the MRI scanner.
TMS ( transcranial magnetic stimulation)
a noninvasive method of assessing brain activity that involves a short burst of a field of magnetic waves directed at a specific area of the cortex
relative phase
an index of the coordination between two limb segments or limbs during the performance of cyclic movement
