Taewon Kim; Hakjoo Kim; Benjamin A. Philip; David L. Wright – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The primary motor cortex (M1) is crucial for motor skill learning. We examined its role in interleaved practice, which enhances retention (vs. repetitive practice) through M1-dependent consolidation. We hypothesized that cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) to M1 would disrupt retention. We found that ctDCS reduced retention…

Dunn, Tyler W.; Sossin, Wayne S. – Learning & Memory, 2021
A more thorough description of the changes in synaptic strength underlying synaptic plasticity may be achieved with quantal resolution measurements at individual synaptic sites. Here, we demonstrate that by using a membrane targeted genetic calcium sensor, we can measure quantal synaptic events at the individual synaptic sites of…

Maryann Mitts; Cathy D. Lirgg; Eric Lange – Physical Educator, 2024
During a 6-week period, students in Grades 1-5 participated in 15 sensory activities that focused on processing and integration motor skills. The intervention group participated in 20 minutes of the "Minds in Motion" maze (10 minutes in the morning and afternoon) while the control group continued with normal school activities. Pre and…

Lage, Guilherme M.; Faria, Larissa O.; Ambrósio, Natália F. A.; Borges, Athos M. P.; Apolinário-Souza, Tércio – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
For over 40 years, the contextual interference effect in motor learning has been investigated. While the difference between levels of contextual interference experienced under blocked and random practice are well established, the difference in the levels of contextual interference experienced under serial and random practice is still ambiguous.…

Juliana Otoni Parma – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This dissertation describes a program of research encompassing three studies that focused on examining the effects of enhanced expectancies and perceptions of success on motor learning. OPTIMAL theory (Wulf & Lewthwaite, 2016) proposes that practice manipulations that enhance a learner's expectations for future successful outcomes lead to…

Tiril, Hamiye; Okumus, Seda – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
This study aims to reveal the problems faced by a dyslexic student in learning science and determine what can be considered an effective science teaching method for this kind of learner. The case study design was used, and the study was conducted with a 7th-grade dyslexic female student. This study used observations and a semi-structured interview…
