Abbreviating the Finger Tapping Test.
The Finger Tapping Test (FTT) has a strong empirical base but its procedures are inconsistent and the test can be time-consuming. To simplify and abbreviate administration procedures, several potential abbreviated procedures were evaluated using a sample of 71 individuals presenting to a VA Hospital for neuropsychological evaluation. A short version using the mean score of Trials 3-5 for each h...
متن کاملYoga training and motor speed based on a finger tapping task.
A finger tapping task was used to assess motor speed (MS) of both hands in 53 adults and 152 children before and after yoga training and in 38 adults of a non-yoga (control) group. All subjects were right hand dominant. The 30-second tapping speed (TS) test was considered as three time intervals, i.e. 0-10 second (TS1), 10-20 seconds (TS2) and 20-30 seconds (TS3). There was a significant (Stude...
متن کاملInteractional synchrony in chimpanzees: Examination through a finger-tapping experiment
Humans often unconsciously coordinate behaviour with that of others in daily life. This interpersonal coordination, including mimicry and interactional synchrony, has been suggested to play a fundamental role in social interaction. If this coordinative behavior is socially adaptive, it may be shared with other highly social animal species. The current study targeted chimpanzees, which phylogene...
متن کاملMotor control of rapid sequential finger tapping in humans.
We investigated in 29 healthy subjects a simple model of rapid independent finger movement: the rapid sequential tapping of adjacent fingers. Inter-tap interval (ITI) was measured for adjacent pairs of fingers in each direction. ITI was shorter in the ulnar-->radial direction than in the reverse direction [P < 0.001 for middle to index (M-->I) compared with index to middle (I-->M)]. There was a...
متن کاملPaired Synchronous Rhythmic Finger Tapping without an External Timing Cue Shows Greater Speed Increases Relative to Those for Solo Tapping
In solo synchronization-continuation (SC) tasks, intertap intervals (ITI) are known to drift from the initial tempo. It has been demonstrated that people in paired and group contexts modulate their action timing unconsciously in various situations such as choice reaction tasks, rhythmic body sway, and hand clapping in concerts, which suggests the possibility that ITI drift is also affected by p...
