Children's Self-Regulated Learning of Movement Sequences

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1993
The purpose of this study was to determine whether developmental differences exist in childrens' use of self-regulatory strategies while learning supra-memory-span movement sequences. Grade 1 and Grade 4 children were asked to study two movement sequences long enough to be absolutely certain that they would be able to recall the entire sequences ...

The Sequencing of Social Movements

American Sociological Review, 1997
Conventional accounts of protest cycles posit a demonstration effect-successful protests incite other constituencies to activism. The author offers an alternative theory that builds on population ecology models of organizational behavior. He argues that the expansion of social movement organizations, or organizational density, is also an essential ...

Performance of complex arm movements and facial-movement sequences after cerebral commissurotomy

Neuropsychologia, 1985
Two patients with presumed complete midline section of the interhemispheric commissures and two patients with partial section were asked to copy complex arm movements and facial-movement sequences. Their performance was compared with our previously published findings on these tasks for patients with unilateral removals from the frontal, temporal or ...

The influence of movement segment difficulty on movements with two-stroke sequence

Experimental Brain Research, 1997
Arm movements in the horizontal plane consisting of two segments were examined to determine whether the difficulty of the second segment influenced the kinematic characteristics of the first segment. The direction of the first segment was an elbow extension movement away from the trunk and remained constant throughout the experiment.

Hierarchical control of rapid movement sequences.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1983
Are movement sequences executed in a hierarchically controlled fashion? We first state explicitly what such control would entail, and we observe that if a movement sequence is planned hierarchically, that does not imply that its execution is hierarchical. To find evidence for hierarchically controlled execution, we require subjects to perform memorized

Kinesthetic control of a multijoint movement sequence

Journal of Neurophysiology, 1990
1. The individual joint rotations of a movement sequence might be controlled either by a central motor plan or by motion-dependent (i.e., kinesthetic) sensory input. Most previous research has focused on how the nervous system uses central motor plans to control movement sequences.

Action sequencing using dynamic movement primitives

Robotica, 2011
SUMMARYGeneral-purpose autonomous robots must have the ability to combine the available sensorimotor knowledge in order to solve more complex tasks. Such knowledge is often given in the form of movement primitives. In this paper, we investigate the problem of sequencing of movement primitives.

Structural Facilitation of Movement Sequence Planning

1991
Previous work has shown that a sequential plan for movements can be selected prior to, and independently of, the selection of its particular effector realization. In the present study, we addressed the question of whether selection of a sequential plan for movements may also be “content free”, i.e., based upon relational (structural) properties, at ...

Social Movements: Sequences vs Fuzzy Temporality

2020
This chapter will pull together some of the most important threads of theoretical development in the field of social movement studies in order to construct – and then critique – a sequential understanding of social movements. I will draw most heavily from the dominant approaches in the self-identified subfield of social movements, especially that ...
