Interhemispheric neural summation in the split brain: effects of stimulus colour and task.

Four split-brained subjects, two subjects with agenesis of the corpus callosum, and 14 normal subjects performed two tasks requiring responses to red or green disks, briefly presented either singly in the left visual field, singly in the right visual ...

Altering the visuomotor gain. Evidence that motor plans deal with vector quantities.

Two experiments investigated the effects of providing nonveridical knowledge of the results (KR) in a visuomanual task in which participants pointed to briefly (200 ms) presented targets without seeing their hand. By showing after each trial the movement ...

Self-controlled feedback: does it enhance learning because performers get feedback when they need it?

This paper examines whether self-controlled feedback schedules enhance learning, because they are more tailored to the performers needs than externally controlled feedback schedules. Participants practiced a sequential timing task. One group of learners ...

Intermanual transfer in a simple motor task.

The present study examines the effects of a four-week training session in a pegboard task on uni- and bimanual performance. Of particular interest was whether practice transfer from the trained to the untrained hand takes place. Twenty-five consistently ...

Practice effects on reaction time for peripheral and central visual fields.

The present study examined whether EMG-RT (RT) for a key press to stimulus in peripheral and central visual fields decreases with practice. 16 male students were divided into two groups, one practicing using peripheral vision, the other practicing using ...

Modularity and hierarchical organization of action programs in human acquisition of graphic skills.

If motor or action programs become modules with practice their defining features (e.g. relative timing) should remain relatively invariant in new tasks. To test this hypothesis 24 adults practiced a graphic skill over 100 trials and were transferred to a ...

Perceptual learning of temporal structure.

We investigated the extent to which the ability to perceive spatial form from temporal structure (TS) improves with practice. Observers trained monocularly for a number of consecutive days on a shape discrimination task, with one group of observers ...

Memory seeding: representations underlying quantitative estimations.

N. R. Brown and R. S. Siegler (1996) found that training participants on a subset of country populations improved estimations for novel transfer country populations, an effect called seeding that remained intact over time. They attributed this effect to ...

On the role of covarying functions in stimulus class formation and transfer of function.

This experiment investigated whether directly trained covarying functions are necessary for stimulus class formation and transfer of function in humans. Initial class training was designed to establish two respondent-based stimulus classes by pairing two ...

Modelling coaching practice: the role of instruction and demonstration.

In this paper, we review the empirical literature pertaining to the effectiveness of instructions and movement demonstrations. Initially, we examine existing theories and approaches that try to explain the process of skill acquisition so as to determine ...
