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.

Mental cognition is the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and

comprehension. These processes include thinking, knowing, remembering, judging and
problem-solving. So if ones mental cognition were to be impaired, the their precision
can be directly affected like a slight but noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive
abilities, including memory and thinking skills. A person with MCI is at an increased risk
of developing Alzheimer's or another dementia. Mental cognition, muscle memory, and
dexterity can affect ones precision when required to use fine motor skills to complete a
task.

Mental cognition is the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and

comprehension, muscle memory is when your muscles memorize a certain movement in
completing a task, and dexterity is how skilled your muscles are at completing a task.
These processes include thinking, knowing, remembering, judging and problem-solving. So if
ones mental cognition were to be impaired, the their precision can be directly affected like a
slight but noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive abilities, including memory and
thinking skills. A person with MCI(muscle cognitive impairment) is at an increased risk of
developing Alzheimer's or another dementia. Mental cognition, muscle memory, and dexterity
can affect ones precision when required to use fine motor skills to complete a task.

Mental cognition, muscle memory, and dexterity affect ones precision when someone is
required to use fine motor skills to complete a task. Mental cognition is the mental processes
involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, muscle memory is when your muscles
memorize a certain movement in completing a task. , and Dexterity is how skilled your
muscles are at completing a task. These processes include thinking, knowing, remembering,
judging, and problem solving. So if ones mental cognition were to be impaired, the their
precision can be directly affected like a slight but noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive
abilities, including memory and thinking skills. A person with MCI(Mild Cognitive Impairment) is
at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's or another dementia. Mental cognition, muscle
memory, and dexterity can affect ones precision when required to use fine motor skills to
complete a task.

Final

Mental cognition, muscle memory, and dexterity affect ones precision when
someone is required to use fine motor skills to complete a task. Mental cognition is the
mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, muscle memory is
when your muscles memorize a certain movement in completing a task. Dexterity is
how skilled your muscles are at completing a task. These processes include thinking,
knowing, remembering, judging, and problem solving. So if ones mental cognition were
to be impaired, their precision can be directly affected like a slight but noticeable and
measurable decline in cognitive abilities, including memory and thinking skills. A person
with MCI(Mild Cognitive Impairment) is at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's or
another dementia. Mental cognition, muscle memory, and dexterity can affect ones
precision when required to use fine motor skills to complete a task.

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 demonstrated the most precision in when completing using your dominant hand was
cutting the paper(T1:21 T2:21).

1b. Create a gif for this task.

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 demonstrated the least precision in when completing using my dominant hand was
Ping pong ball return(T1:27 T2:48).
