Pre-Assignment: Lab # 8
This assignment is to be answered prior to attending the lab.
1.
What is the purpose of this lab?
The purpose of this lab is to examine the process of adaptation and see the individuals
performance between the 3 conditions (Pre-test, Adaptation, and Post-test)
2.
What type of figure are you required to construct?
We are required to construct a line graph
3.
How many adaptation blocks are there?
There are 5 adaptation blocks
4.
What task are subjects required to perform?
Our task will be to use the computer mouse to move from a home position (lower circle) to a
target (upper circle). This will be conducted using the “Visuo-Motor Adaptation” lab.
5.
Which variable will be on the X axis in the figure that you are required to create?
The variable on the X axis will be "Testing Condition"
6.
What are the conditions in this study?
The conditions in this study are Pre-test (baseline), Adaptation (visuo-motor training), and
Post-test (aftereffects)
7.
Which variable will be on the Y axis in the figure that you are required to create?
The variable on the Y axis will be "Mouse Trajectory Angle (deg)"
8.
How many t-tests are you required to perform?
We are required to perform 2 t-tests
9.
What specific aspect of motor learning are you examining in this lab?
This lab will examine a specific aspect of motor learning known as adaptation
