Thinking More Lowers Hand Waving: Dual Task Damps Hand Movements During Mental Rotation
We report a dual task experiment investigating complementary actions (such as hand movements) that arise during cognitive tasks (such as counting). The ‘orphan model’ of the mechanism underlying such parallel actions predicts that a dual task would raise the frequency of such actions. However, rather than leading to more complementary actions, the dual task actually lowered usage of hands durin...
متن کاملAdaptive mixed reality rehabilitation improves quality of reaching movements more than traditional reaching therapy following stroke.
BACKGROUND Adaptive mixed reality rehabilitation (AMRR) is a novel integration of motion capture technology and high-level media computing that provides precise kinematic measurements and engaging multimodal feedback for self-assessment during a therapeutic task. OBJECTIVE We describe the first proof-of-concept study to compare outcomes of AMRR and traditional upper-extremity physical therapy...
متن کاملDancers entrain more effectively than non-dancers to another actor’s movements
For many everyday sensorimotor tasks, trained dancers have been found to exhibit distinct and sometimes superior (more stable or robust) patterns of behavior compared to non-dancers. Past research has demonstrated that experts in fields requiring specialized physical training and behavioral control exhibit superior interpersonal coordination capabilities for expertise-related tasks. To date, ho...
متن کاملSpace representation for eye movements is more contralateral in monkeys than in humans.
Contralateral hemispheric representation of sensory inputs (the right visual hemifield in the left hemisphere and vice versa) is a fundamental feature of primate sensorimotor organization, in particular the visuomotor system. However, many higher-order cognitive functions in humans show an asymmetric hemispheric lateralization--e.g., right brain specialization for spatial processing--necessitat...
متن کاملFaster top running speeds are achieved with greater ground forces not more rapid leg movements.
We twice tested the hypothesis that top running speeds are determined by the amount of force applied to the ground rather than how rapidly limbs are repositioned in the air. First, we compared the mechanics of 33 subjects of different sprinting abilities running at their top speeds on a level treadmill. Second, we compared the mechanics of declined (-6 degrees ) and inclined (+9 degrees ) top-s...
