Motor learning and skill acquisition constitute fundamental processes by which individuals enhance their movement capabilities through practice, experience and neural adaptation. This field ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...

A new research study examined the results from data generated by citizen scientists using a simple web-based motor test. The big data approach provides researchers with a unique way to explore how ...

When it comes to training robots to perform agile, single-task motor skills, such as handstands or backflips, artificial intelligence methods can be very useful. But if you want to train your robot to ...

Over the past 20 years, there has been a significant shift in our understanding of the motor system. It is no longer viewed as a mere executor of motor actions, but rather as a system also engaged ...

Okazaki, Japan – When we learn a motor pattern such as a new sport or dance, movements that were not possible at the beginning can be memorized and made easy through practice. It has been widely ...

Even though we don’t think about it, every movement we make in our daily life essentially consists of a sequence of smaller actions in a specific order. The only time we realize this is when we have ...

A recent National Geographic report highlighted growing concerns from educators and researchers about a decline in fine motor skills among young children—challenges in holding pencils, tying shoes, ...

Children learn loads between birth and starting school. One thing they pick up are their fine motor skills. Motor skills are a key area of development, and help kids improve their dexterity and ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...
