Fine Motor Control Underlies the Association Between Response Inhibition and Drawing Skill in Early Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

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.

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.
