Enhancing Executive Function in Children and Adolescents through Motor Learning: A Systematic Review
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…

Julia Hussien; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The focus of attention literature has shown robust findings for the benefits of providing statements that focus on the movement effect or outcome (external focus of attention [EFOA]) as opposed to focusing on the movement kinematics (internal focus of attention). Observational studies, however, have revealed that physiotherapists use fewer EFOA…

Dmitry Chumachenko; Anna Shvarts; Anna Dreneva; Anatoly Krichevets – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Efficient recognition of geometric shapes is an important aspect of proficiency in geometry. Building theoretically on the cultural-historical approach enriched by the physiology of activity, we investigate theoretical perception in geometry--the ability to recognize conceptual geometric aspects of visual figures. Aiming to understand the…

Pande, Prajakt; Chandrasekharan, Sanjay – Research in Science Education, 2022
Representational competence in science is the ability to generate external representations (e.g. equations, graphs) of real-world phenomena, transform between these representations, and use them in an integrated fashion. Difficulties in achieving representational competence are often considered central to difficulties in learning science.…

Julia Hussien; Liza Khodko; Cooper Macdonald; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
In previous research, Canadian physiotherapists identified barriers to effective external focus promotion and recommended the delivery of a focus of attention workshop as a solution. Accordingly, the current research entailed the virtual delivery of such a workshop, consisting of asynchronous Website modules followed by a synchronous group…

Benson, Jeryl D.; Donoso Brown, Elena V.; Blough, Ashley; Smitsky, Deborah – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
This quasi-experimental study explored the effects of sensorimotor strategies on improving attention and in-seat behavior of preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a single subject, B-A-B-A design with a sensorimotor phase (B) and non-sensorimotor phase (A), duration of attention and in-seat behavior were recorded and analyzed…

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…

Abrahamson, Dor; Sánchez-García, Raúl – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
Whereas emerging technologies, such as touchscreen tablets, are bringing sensorimotor interaction back into mathematics learning activities, existing educational theory is not geared to inform or analyze passages from action to concept. We present case studies of tutor-student behaviors in an embodied-interaction learning environment, the…

Bateman, Kristin Diane – ProQuest LLC, 2018
As a result of increased academic rigor and limited movement opportunities during the school day, students may have more limited focus and difficulty in maintaining attention in the classroom (McMurrer, 2007; Stark, Rentner, & Kober 2014; Common Core State Standards 2014). As students have more difficulty maintaining attention, their learning…

Chow, Jia Yi – Quest, 2013
This article provides a brief overview of the framework of nonlinear pedagogy and evidence emanating from motor learning literature that underpins a nonlinear pedagogical approach. In addition, challenges for nonlinear pedagogy and a discussion on how nonlinear pedagogy support the work of physical education (PE) teachers will be shared. Evidence…

Duke, Robert A.; Cash, Carla Davis; Allen, Sarah E. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2011
To test the extent to which learners performing a simple keyboard passage would be affected by directing their focus of attention to different aspects of their movements, 16 music majors performed a brief keyboard passage under each of four focus conditions arranged in a counterbalanced design--a total of 64 experimental sessions. As they…

Baumgartner, Heidi A.; Oakes, Lisa M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2011
When learning object function, infants must detect relations among features--for example, that squeezing is associated with squeaking or that objects with wheels roll. Previously, Perone and Oakes (2006) found 10-month-old infants were sensitive to relations between object appearances and actions, but not to relations between appearances and…

Berkey, Sybil M. – Brookes Publishing Company, 2009
Because sensorimotor and environmental factors have a profound effect on children's learning, every teacher should know how to weave strategies from occupational therapy (OT) into their everyday instruction. This is the guidebook K-3 teachers need to "think like an OT"--and form effective partnerships with OTs in their schools--so all students can…

Jani, Subhash N. – Academic Therapy, 1983
Resistance applied to activities of rocking, creeping, and walking as a means to increase visual attention of students who are easily distracted is described. The resistance activities are said to result in improvement of gross motor coordination, oculomotor control, memory processes, and untimately, greater efficiency in academic learning. (CL)

Hall, A.; Bailey, I. L. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1989
The paper addresses the need to define terms used in vision training before successful programs can be formulated. Critical behaviors in three categories (visual attending, visual examining, and visually guided motor) are considered as are program alternatives focusing on visual environment management, visual skills training, and visually…
