Sleep and Motor Skill Learning [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2002
The improvement of a perceptual or motor skill continues after training has ended. The central question is whether this improvement is just a function of time or whether sleep, a certain circadian phase, or their interaction (sleep occurring in a particular circadian phase) is favorable to the reprocessing of recent memory traces.

Dissociable effects of practice variability on learning motor and timing skills. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Motor skill acquisition inherently depends on the way one practices the motor task. The amount of motor task variability during practice has been shown to foster transfer of the learned skill to other similar motor tasks.

Motor Output Variability Impairs Driving Ability in Older Adults: Reply to Stinchcombe, Dickerson, Weaver, and Bedard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Driving is a complex skill, as indicated by Stinchcombe and colleagues in their letter. It requires the integration of sensory inputs, cognitive processing, and motor execution.

Acquisition and consolidation processes following motor imagery practice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
It well-known that mental training improves skill performance. Here, we evaluated skill acquisition and consolidation after physical or motor imagery practice, by means of an arm pointing task requiring speed-accuracy trade-off.

Factors contributing to Australian adolescents’ self-report of their motor skill competence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
An adolescents motor skill competence can affect areas such as sports participation, social activities and future academic or employment decisions. The Adolescent Motor Competence Questionnaire (AMCQ) is a 26-item questionnaire that uses a four point ...

Analysis for motion characteristics of human operator and motor area of higher brain function during human-robot cooperative work

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
The aim of this research is to investigate the operator's motor skill obtained by the skill training during the human-robot cooperative task. There are many studies to investigate the perception of the motion of the robot and the electromyography ...

Sport expert's motor imagery: Functional imaging of professional motor skills and simple motor skills [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Research, 2010
Numerous studies provide evidence that motor skill acquisition is associated with dynamic changes in cortical and subcortical regions. Athletes are a professional population who are engaged in extensive motor training for long periods. However, the neural substrates of extreme level motor performance have not been clarified. We used kinesthetic imagery

Dance training shapes action perception and its neural implementation within the young and older adult brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
How we perceive others in action is shaped by our prior experience. Many factors influence brain responses when observing others in action, including training in a particular physical skill, such as sport or dance, and also general development and aging ...

A single bout of exercise improves motor memory.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Regular physical activity has a positive impact on cognition and brain function. Here we investigated if a single bout of exercise can improve motor memory and motor skill learning.
