In class, we discussed a study where monkeys practiced reaching for food pellets by extending/flexing their fingers for a period of 12 days (Nudo et al., 1996).  The researchers examined motor performance before and after this period of training and found that monkeys performed food retrievals better over time. This was an example of the classical neuroplasticity principle of “use it and improve it”. Which of the following is true about what happens to cortical maps after this kind of training?

You are working with David, a 58-year-old man who experienced a left hemisphere stroke 3 months ago. He presents with right-sided weakness and impaired motor control in his hand. During your neurorehabilitation session, you note that his movements are slower and less coordinated compared to earlier stages of recovery. You recall that changes in interhemispheric communication between the motor cortices may contribute to his ongoing impairment. Which of the following best describes what typically happens to interhemispheric inhibition after a stroke like David’s?

Which of the following best explains the underlying mechanism contributing to phantom limb pain in individuals following amputation?

You are working with Carla, a 45-year-old patient recovering from a stroke who is learning to regain functional use of her affected arm. During your discussion about the rehabilitation process, Carla asks you to explain what motor learning really means. Which of the following statements best describes a key characteristic of motor learning?

You are working with Daniel, a 39-year-old recreational runner who recently sustained a knee injury and is participating in a strength training program focused on isokinetic exercises to improve quadriceps function. After 4 weeks of training, Daniel notes that he feels stronger and is able to perform tasks like stair climbing with greater ease.  Recalling the principles from Enoka’s research on neural contributions to strength, which of the following best explains the physiological basis for Daniel’s early strength gains during the first 60 days of isokinetic strengthening?

Integrated mix decision under labour constraint. Evergreen Electronics has 20,000 hours of skilled labour available and makes two products: Alpha – CM $30 | Labour 2 hrs | Max 6,000 units; Beta – CM $22 | Labour 1 hr | Max 12,000 units. Fixed costs unchanged. Determine the optimal mix and total contribution margin.

Summit Appliances is offered a special order for 1,000 units at $38 each. Normal price $50, variable cost $35, fixed cost unaffected, and idle capacity exists. What is the effect on net income?

A company using variable cost-plus pricing adds a fixed markup to cover fixed costs and target return. If actual sales fall below expected volume, the markup will:

At Cedar Craft Co., a special order for 5,000 units at $8.50 per unit is being considered. Variable manufacturing cost = $6.00 per unit; accepting the order does not change fixed costs and there is idle capacity. Should the order be accepted?
