Madison J. Richter; Hassan Ali; Maarten A. Immink – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
Enhancing executive function in children and adolescents can have significant positive impact on their current and future daily lives. Upregulation of executive function associated with motor skill acquisition suggests that motor learning scenarios provide valuable developmental opportunities to optimize executive function. The present systematic…

Steven Patrick Wightkin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide with occasional serious complications, including bile duct injuries, that may reflect surgeon misperception, rather than errors of skill and knowledge. Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) is an imaging procedure that may prevent or…

Salo, Virginia C.; Debnath, Ranjan; Rowe, Meredith L.; Fox, Nathan A. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Exposure to communicative gestures, through their parents' use of gestures, is associated with infants' language development. However, the mechanisms supporting this link are not fully understood. In adults, sensorimotor brain activity occurs while processing communicative stimuli, including both spoken language and gestures. Using…

Leila Etemadi; Dan-Anders Jirenhed; Anders Rasmussen – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Eyeblink conditioning is used in many species to study motor learning and make inferences about cerebellar function. However, the discrepancies in performance between humans and other species combined with evidence that volition and awareness can modulate learning suggest that eyeblink conditioning is not merely a passive form of learning that…

Lei Shi; Chunxia Xu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The key research objective is to explore the key functions of virtual reality technology used by educators to improve motor and imagery training in athletes. The sample was 160 students from Shandong Sport University. The main tools used by the scholars were the Athlete Introductory Movement Screen (AIMS) and The Sport Imagery Ability…

Capio, Catherine M.; Eguia, Kathlynne F. – SAGE Open, 2021
Children with intellectual disability (ID) tend to have difficulty with mastering fundamental movement skills, associated with cognitive deficits that impair skill acquisition. In this case study, motor learning evidence was transformed into an object control skills training program for children with ID in a school context. An implementation…

Körner, Anita; Bakhtiari, Giti; Topolinski, Sascha – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
People prefer words with consonant articulation locations moving inward, from the front to the back of the mouth (e.g., "menika"), over words with consonant articulation locations moving outward, from the back to the front of the mouth (e.g., "kemina"). Here, we modulated this "in-out effect" by increasing the fluency…

Szumilewicz, Anna; Hopkins, Will G.; Dornowski, Marcin; Piernicka, Magdalena – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
A quick, well-timed pelvic-floor muscle contraction during physical effort is recommended for active women to prevent urine leakage. Purpose: We address two research questions: how well do future female exercise professionals contract the pelvic-floor muscles, and whether the biofeedback session is necessary to train them to contract pelvic-floor…

Hald, Lea A.; de Nooijer, Jacqueline; van Gog, Tamara; Bekkering, Harold – Educational Psychology Review, 2016
The aim of this review is to consider how current vocabulary training methods could be optimized by considering recent scientific insights in how the brain represents conceptual knowledge. We outline the findings from several methods of vocabulary training. In each case, we consider how taking an embodied cognition perspective could impact word…

Abrahamson, Dor; Sánchez-García, Raúl; Trninic, Dragan – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
The recent proliferation of technological devices with natural user interfaces (e.g., touchscreen tablets) is regenerating scholarship on the role of sensorimotor interaction in conceptual learning. Some researchers of mathematical education have adopted views from constructivism, phenomenology, enactivism, and ecological dynamics to interpret…
