Cláudio Manoel Ferreira Leite; Herbert Ugrinowitsch; Crislaine Rangel Couto – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Knowledge of results (KR), particularly its informational role, has often been regarded as redundant for learning interception-like tasks, such as coincidence-anticipation timing tasks. However, it is possible that the KR's guiding effect might be detrimental to motor adaptation, instead of only redundant, leading to a dependency on KR and…

Profeta, Vitor Leandro da Silva; Campos, Claisyellen Silva – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Different individuals learn different solutions to the same perceptual-motor task regardless of the fact that they may undergo the same practice conditions. In the current study, we characterized individual solutions to a perceptual-motor task. Eighteen self-declared right-handed participants were requested to intercept a moving target controlling…

Hyokju Maeng; Deborah R. Shapiro; Elizabeth Kipling Webster; Hyunjin Kwon – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Rater training is necessary to accurately evaluate fundamental motor skills among children with developmental disabilities (DD). The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the impact of an online rater training program for novice raters on scoring accuracy of the run and two-hand strike skills on the Test of Gross Motor Development-Third…

Newell, Karl M.; Irwin, Gareth – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
This paper examines the influence of task and skill level constraints on the generality of proximal-distal control for within-limb movement coordination. Analysis and synthesis of the experimental findings leads to the proposition that proximal-distal is one of several within-limb patterns of coordination, including: the reverse distal-proximal…

Beseler, Bradley; Mesagno, Christopher; Spittle, Michael; Johnson, Nicola F.; Harvey, Jack; Talpey, Scott; Plumb, Mandy S. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the follow-through on thrown ball velocity, potentially justifying inclusion of the follow-through in Roberton's five critical components. Method: Seventy-eight University students participated in the overarm, dominant hand, throwing task, which involved throwing a standard tennis…

Weisberg, Alanna; Suk Lee, Hyun; Fung, Tak; Katz, Larry – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
The overhand throw is a complex whole-body motor skill that is fundamental to many sports and activities. When throwing properly, the momentum generated to complete the movement begins in the lower body and transfers through the trunk to the throwing arm. This proof-of-concept study's primary purpose was to evaluate the impact of the nonthrowing…

Beseler, Bradley; Williams, Kathleen; Plumb, Mandy S. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: Roberton's movement components are used to assess fundamental motor skills as segmental developmental sequences. In 1991, Haywood, Williams and VanSant determined that original developmental sequences proposed for the backswing levels of the overarm throw did not encompass all ages. Their study of older throwers identified two new…
