Attentional focus, dispositional reinvestment, and skilled motor performance under pressure [PDF]
, 2006 Copyright @ 2006 Human KineticsAttentional processes governing skilled motor behavior were examined in two studies. In Experiment 1, field hockey players performed a dribbling task under single-task, dual-task, and skill-focused conditions under both low

The relation between complexity and resilient motor performance, and the effects of differential learning [PDF]
, 2021 Complex systems typically demonstrate a mixture of regularity and flexibility in their behavior, which would make them adaptive. At the same time, adapting to perturbations is a core characteristic of resilience. The first aim of the current research was

Implicit motor learning promotes neural efficiency during laparoscopy. [PDF]
, 2011 An understanding of differences in expert and novice neural behavior can inform surgical skills training. Outside the surgical domain, electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence analyses have shown that during motor performance, experts display less ...

Individual Differences Influencing Immediate Effects of Internal and External Focus Instructions on Children’s Motor Performance [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: A large pool of evidence supports the beneficial effect of an external focus of attention on motor skill performance in adults. In children, this effect has been studied less and results are inconclusive.

Performance in motor sports [PDF]
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2001 Motor racing is one of the most physically and mentally challenging of all sports, not only for racing drivers themselves, but also for the teams that play an integral role in the eventual performance of the car. It is my belief that, for such a demanding and popular sport, sports medicine is seriously underused.

Innervation Zones of Fasciculating Motor Units: Observations by a Linear Electrode Array
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 This study examines the innervation zone (IZ) in the biceps brachii muscle in normal subjects and those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using a 20-channel linear electromyogram (EMG) electrode array.

Uncertainty of feedback and state estimation determines the speed of motor adaptation
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2010 Humans can adapt their motor behaviors to deal with ongoing changes. To achieve this, the nervous system needs to estimate central variables for our movement based on past knowledge and new feedback, both of which are uncertain. In the Bayesian framework,

The roles of declarative knowledge and working memory in explicit motor learning and practice among children with low motor abilities [PDF]
, 2019 Effective learning methods are essential for motor skill development and participation in children with low motor abilities. Current learning methods predominantly aim to increase declarative knowledge through explicit instructions that necessitate ...

Learning new movements after paralysis: Results from a home-based study
Scientific Reports, 2017 Body-machine interfaces (BMIs) decode upper-body motion for operating devices, such as computers and wheelchairs. We developed a low-cost portable BMI for survivors of cervical spinal cord injury and investigated it as a means to support personalized ...
