Laura A. Malone; Nayo M. Hill; Haley Tripp; Vadim Zipunnikov; Daniel M. Wolpert; Amy J. Bastian – npj Science of Learning, 2025
The ability to adjust movements in response to perturbations is key for an efficient and mature nervous system, which relies on two complementary mechanisms -- feedforward adaptation and feedback control. We examined the developmental trajectory of how children employ these two mechanisms using a previously validated visuomotor rotation task,…

Roberto Vagnetti; Michele Vicovaro; Andrea Spoto; Luca Battaglini; Margherita Attanasio; Marco Valenti; Monica Mazza – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present atypical sensory processing in the perception of moving stimuli and biological motion. The present study aims to explore the performance of young adults with ASD in a time to contact (TTC) estimation task involving social and non-social stimuli. TTC estimation involves extrapolating the…

Julian Rudisch; Luis K. H. Holzhauer; Karmen Kravanja; Fred H. Hamker; Claudia Voelcker-Rehage – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Observational practice is discussed as a substitute for physical practice for motor learning and adaptation. We systematically reviewed the literature on observational practice in reaching and aiming tasks. Our objectives were to identify (i) performance differences between observational and physical practice; (ii) factors that contribute to…

Chua, Yu Wei; Lu, Szu-Ching; Anzulewicz, Anna; Sobota, Krzystof; Tachtatzis, Christos; Andonovic, Ivan; Rowe, Philip; Delafield-Butt, Jonathan – Developmental Science, 2022
Movement is prospective. It structures self-generated engagement with objects and social partners and is fundamental to children's learning and development. In autistic children, previous reports of differences in movement kinematics compared to neurotypical peers suggest that its prospective organisation might be disrupted. Here, we employed a…

Foster, Nathan C.; Bennett, Simon J.; Causer, Joe; Elliott, Digby; Bird, Geoffrey; Hayes, Spencer J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
The reduced efficacy of voluntary imitation in autism is suggested to be underpinned by differences in sensorimotor processing. We examined whether the imitation of novel atypical biological kinematics by autistic adults is enhanced by imitating a model in a predictable blocked practice trial order. This practice structure is expected to…

Kapodistria, Loukia; Chatzopoulos, Dimitris; Chomoriti, Katerina; Lykesas, Georgios; Lola, Afroditi – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Greek traditional dance programme on sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) and reaction time on primary school children (6.41 ± 0.41 yr.). We randomly assigned 61 children to either the dance group (31 children, 15 boys, 16 girls, 6.42 ± 0.40 yr.), who took part in a dance programme of 12…

Zohar, Asnat R.; Levy, Sharona T. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Embodied cognition theories view sensorimotor activity as fundamental to learning, knowing, and reasoning. To investigate the role of physical movement in conceptual learning, we developed and explored an Embodied Learning Interactive Chemistry environment (ELI-Chem). The ELI-Chem learning environment includes a computer simulation, a device for…

Toyooka, Hiroshi; Matsuura, Kenji; Gotoda, Naka – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
In the learning support for repetitive motions having an operating instrument, it is necessary for learners to control not only their own body motions but also an instrument corresponding to the body. This study focuses on the repetitive motion learning using single operation instrument without the movement in space; i.e. jump-rope and hula-hoop.…

Castellano, Soledad; Arnedillo-Sánchez, Inmaculada – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
This paper presents a discussion on potential conflicts originated by sensorimotor distractions when learning with mobile phones on-the-move. While research in mobile learning points to the possibility of everywhere, all the time learning; research in the area suggests that tasks performed while on-the-move predominantly require low cognitive…
