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.

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 ...

Role of the dopamine system in motor skill learning : implications for neurodevelopmental disorders [PDF]
, 2014 Dopamine (DA), released by midbrain neurons, is critical for motor performance, motor skill learning, and corticostriatal synaptic plasticity. Dysregulation of DAergic signaling in corticostriatal circuitry has also been implicated in several highly ...

Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain. [PDF]
, 2020 Physical exercise promotes motor skill learning in normal individuals and those with neurological disorders but its mechanism of action is unclear. We find that one week of voluntary wheel running enhances the acquisition of motor skills in normal adult ...

Dopamine Promotes Motor Cortex Plasticity and Motor Skill Learning via PLC Activation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area, the major midbrain nucleus projecting to the motor cortex, play a key role in motor skill learning and motor cortex synaptic plasticity. Dopamine D1 and D2 receptor antagonists exert parallel effects in

Fine Motor Control Underlies the Association Between Response Inhibition and Drawing Skill in Early Development [PDF]
, 2017 Previous research shows that the development of response inhibition and drawing skill are linked. The current research investigated whether this association reflects a more fundamental link between response inhibition and motor control.

Reflecting on what is “skill” in human motor skill learning
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 Humans have an exceptional ability to execute a variety of skilled movements. Researchers have been long interested in understanding behavioral and neurophysiological basis of human motor skill learning for advancing both fundamental neuroscientific ...
