Motor Control Adherence to the Two-thirds Power Law Differs in Autistic Development
Autistic individuals often exhibit motor atypicalities, which may relate to difficulties in social communication. This study utilized a smart tablet...
-
Is cognitive control of perception and action via attentional focus moderated by motor imagery?
Motor imagery (MI) has emerged as an individual factor that may modulate the effects of attentional focus on motor skill performance. In this study,...

Effects of an Exercise Program Based on Rhythmic Movements on Coordination, Motor Control, and Reading Ability in Dyslexic Children: a Case Series
ObjectivesDyslexia is a learning disability with a prevalence of between 5 and 10% in Spain. There is a relationship between the cognitive and motor...

The Effectiveness of Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises on Social Skills and Motor Performance in Children with Autism
PurposeThe current study aims to investigate the effectiveness of sensory-motor integration exercises on social skills and motor performance in...

Imagery and motor learning: a special issue on the neurocognitive mechanisms of imagery and imagery practice of motor actions
Human beings are able to imagine actions with the aim to change movement coordination and to learn particular movements. Meta-analyses to date have...

A kinematically complex multi-articular motor skill for investigating implicit motor learning
Here we present a task developed to probe implicit learning of a complex motor skill. This task addresses limitations related to task complexity...

Effects of Motor Intervention Program on Academic Skills, Motor Skills and Social Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of motor intervention program (MIP) on autistic index, pre-academic skills, motor skills and social...

Why motor imagery is not really motoric: towards a re-conceptualization in terms of effect-based action control
Overt and imagined action seem inextricably linked. Both have similar timing, activate shared brain circuits, and motor imagery influences overt...

Commentary on Frank et al., (2003): where does learning through motor imagery lie on the perceptual–motor continuum?
In this issue, Frank et al. (2023) propose that motor imagery provides a perceptual–cognitive scaffold allowing ‘perceptual’ learning to transfer...

Learning motor actions via imagery—perceptual or motor learning?
It is well accepted that repeatedly imagining oneself acting without any overt behavior can lead to learning. The prominent theory accounting for why...

The effects of internal representations on performance and fluidity in a motor task
Individuals can differ in the mode in which they experience conscious thought. These differences in visualisation and verbalisation can also be...

An effect that counts: Temporally contiguous action effect enhances motor performance
An action-effect temporal contiguity holds essential information for motor control. Emerging accounts suggest that the temporally contiguous action...

Motor imagery from brain to muscle: a commentary on Bach et al., (2022)
In a recent article entitled "Why motor imagery is not really motoric: towards a re-conceptualization in terms of effect-based action control", Bach...

Measuring the nonselective effects of motor inhibition using isometric force recordings
Inhibition is a key cognitive control mechanism humans use to enable goal-directed behavior. When rapidly exerted, inhibitory control has broad,...

Effects of Physical Exercise on Gross Motor Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Research shows many positive effects from physical exercise. The present study examined the impact of a structured physical exercise program compared...

Accessible Digital Music Instruments for Motor Disability
Learning to play a musical instrument has been shown to provide several benefits for acquiring many non-musical skills. However, these benefits are...

Motor demands influence conflict processing in a mouse-tracking Simon task
Previous studies have shown incorrect motor activation when making perceptual decisions under conflict, but the potential involvement of motor...

Atypical Impact of Action Effect Delay on Motor Performance in Autism
Atypical sensory perception and motor impairments are primary features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that indicate atypical development and...

Neurocircuitry basis of motor cortex-related analgesia as an emerging approach for chronic pain management
Aside from movement initiation and control, the primary motor cortex (M1) has been implicated in pain modulation mechanisms. A large body of clinical...
