Mechanisms underlying interlimb transfer of visuomotor rotations.

We previously reported that opposite arm training improved the initial direction of dominant arm movements, whereas it only improved the final position accuracy of non-dominant arm movements. We now ask whether each controller accesses common, or ...

Facilitating acquisition and transfer of a continuous motor task in healthy older adults and patients with Alzheimers disease.

This study examined the acquisition and transfer of a fine motor skill, namely the rotary pursuit, in 99 patients with Alzheimers disease (AD) and 100 normal controls (NCs). To identify optimal learning strategies, the authors had participants practice ...

The subliminal mere exposure effect does not generalize to structurally related stimuli.

R.F. Bornstein (1994) questioned whether subliminal mere exposure effects might generalize to structurally related stimuli, thereby providing evidence for the existence of implicit learning. Two experiments examined this claim using letter string stimuli ...

Plasticity of feature-based selection in triple-conjunction search.

Two experiments examined the disruption of feature-based selection in triple-conjunction search at multiple target transfers. In Experiment 1, after 10 training sessions, a new target possessing previous distractor features was introduced. This produced ...

Training with an upper-limb prosthetic simulator to enhance transfer of skill across limbs.

OBJECTIVE: To examine what effect bilateral transfer of movement across limbs may have in a persons ability to learn use of an upper-limb prosthetic simulator. DESIGN: Randomized trial. SETTING: University laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Able-bodied subjects ...

Saccadic adaptation in the horizontal and vertical directions in normal subjects.

We studied the properties of adaptive gain control in the saccadic system and examined whether the adaptations in the horizontal direction transferred to those in the vertical direction, and vice versa, in 16 normal subjects. Eye movements were measured ...

Visuomotor transformations affect bimanual coupling.

Interactions between bimanual movements may occur at two different levels: at a visually based level, where movement trajectories are programmed within the visually perceived external space, and at the executional level, through crosstalk of sensorimotor ...

Acoustic and perceptual evaluation of Mandarin tone productions before and after perceptual training.

Training American listeners to perceive Mandarin tones has been shown to be effective, with trainees identification improving by 21%. Improvement also generalized to new stimuli and new talkers, and was retained when tested six months after training [Y. ...

Best practice development and transfer in the NHS: the importance of process as well as product knowledge.

A core prescription from the knowledge management movement is that the successful management of organizational knowledge will prevent firms from reinventing the wheel, in particular through the transfer of best practices. Our findings challenge this ...

Transfer of sensorimotor adaptation between different movement categories.

It is well known that sensorimotor adaptation will transfer from the practiced to the unpracticed arm, which has been taken as evidence that adaptation is located in the brain before the divergence point for left and right arm control. We now explore ...
