EQ: How do mental cognition, muscle memory, and dexterity affect ones precision when s/he
is required to use fine motor skills to complete a task?

I. Essential Question:

In your response, you need to include the following:

Explain what mental cognition is and how ones precision can be directly affected if one is
mentally impaired.

Explain what muscle memory is and how it may affect ones precision in completing a task.

Explain how dexterity may affect ones precision in completing a task.

Original
Mental cognition, muscle memory, and dexterity affect ones precision when
someone uses fine motor skills to complete a task differently. Mental cognition is the
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the
senses, and in the delivery of getting a thought in your brain to acting on it in your
muscles. Mental cognition affects one's precision if they are mentally impaired by having
a bent back. This affects the nervous system which affects mental cognition and makes it
harder to do precise tasks. Muscle memory is the ability to reproduce a particular
movement without conscious thought, acquired as a result of frequent repetition of that
movement. If you remember something and do it repetitively, it affects you positively by
completing a task almost subconsciously. Dexterity means skill in performing tasks,
especially with the hands, if you are experienced and ambidextrous, you can be affected
positively, but it can be a bad effect if you are bad working with your hands.

II. Lab Application:

1a. Identify which task you demonstrated the most precision in when completing using your
dominant hand and support your response using data and video evidence.

I showed the most precision cutting slips of paper, first I got 19, then I got 26. For slips of paper,
this is a very close compacted answer. It is easier to cup slips of paper than to do something
like the cup stacking and more precise.

2a. Identify which task you demonstrated the least precision in when completing using your
dominant hand and support your response using data and video evidence.

I showed the least precision in 90 dgr q tip rotation because since I am still young, my muscles
have not grown yet and it is harder to turn the q tip.
