Somatosensory changes associated with motor skill learning.
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2020 Trial-and-error motor adaptation has been linked to somatosensory plasticity and shifts in proprioception (limb position sense). The role of sensory processing in motor skill learning is less understood.

Does priming really put the gloss on performance? [PDF]
, 2013 Priming has recently emerged in the literature as offering advantages in the preparation for skilled performance. Accordingly, the current study tested the efficacy of imagery against a priming paradigm as a means of enhancing motor performance: in ...

Acceleration Gait Measures as Proxies for Motor Skill of Walking: A Narrative Review
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering, 2020 In adults 65 years or older, falls or other neuromotor dysfunctions are often framed as walking-related declines in motor skill; the frequent occurrence of such decline in walking-related motor skill motivates the need for an improved understanding of ...

Dopamine in motor cortex is necessary for skill learning and synaptic plasticity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Preliminary evidence indicates that dopamine given by mouth facilitates the learning of motor skills and improves the recovery of movement after stroke. The mechanism of these phenomena is unknown.

Effective skill refinement: Focusing on process to ensure outcome [PDF]
, 2014 In contrast to the abundance of motor skill acquisition and performance research, there is a paucity of work which addresses how athletes with an already learnt and well-established skill may go about making a subtle change, or refinement, to that skill.

Early motor skill competence as a mediator of child and adult physical activity
Preventive Medicine Reports, 2015 Objective: In order to effectively promote physical activity (PA) during childhood, and across the lifespan, a better understanding of the role of early motor skill development on child and adult PA is needed. Methods: Here, we propose a conceptual model

Experience Playing a Musical Instrument and Overnight Sleep Enhance Performance on a Sequential Typing Task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The smooth, coordinated fine motor movements required to play a musical instrument are not only highly valued in our society; they also predict academic success in areas that generalize beyond the motor domain, including reading and math readiness, and ...
