Personalized versus fixed tactile cueing in Parkinson's disease: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial on gait automaticity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
BackgroundGait automaticity, the ability of the brain to control locomotion with minimal use of executive-attentional resources, is altered in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Exploring gait automaticity and prefrontal brain activity during single and dual-task walking in aging and Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Walking while performing a concurrent cognitive task leads to cognitive-motor interference, resulting in slower and more variable gait. This is particularly the case in Parkinson’s disease (PD), where dual-task situations exacerbate walking ...

Automaticity: schema modes in addiction

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
Automaticity is a hallmark of substance use disorder. In Schema Therapy (an evidence-based form of psychotherapy, that has also been applied to substance use disorders), automaticity appears to be a relevant variable. However, the role of automaticity in

Self-Efficacy in Habit Building: How General and Habit-Specific Self-Efficacy Influence Behavioral Automatization and Motivational Interference

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
In this article, we investigate the role of self-efficacy (SE) in intentional habit building. We analyzed event sampling data from a habit building app we created that helps define and track habit data.

App-Based Habit Building Reduces Motivational Impairments During Studying – An Event Sampling Study

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
In this app-based event sampling study, we observed the intentional formation of new study habits. A sample of 91 university students defined individual study habits and logged data over 6 weeks on motivational conflict, motivational interference (MI ...

Drivers of Sinoatrial Node Automaticity in Zebrafish: Comparison With Mechanisms of Mammalian Pacemaker Function

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Cardiac excitation originates in the sinoatrial node (SAN), due to the automaticity of this distinct region of the heart. SAN automaticity is the result of a gradual depolarisation of the membrane potential in diastole, driven by a coupled system of ...

Automaticity of walking: functional significance, mechanisms, measurement and rehabilitation strategies

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Automaticity is a hallmark feature of walking in adults who are healthy and well-functioning. In the context of walking, ‘automaticity’ refers to the ability of the nervous system to successfully control typical steady state walking with minimal use of ...

Shifting to automatic [PDF]

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2010
How does the brain acquire and retain complex motor kills? In a well-known zen story, a centipede was asked how he could coordinate all of his numerous feet without stumbling. The centipede said that he had never given it a thought. From that time on, the centipede became unable to move.
