Cognitive strategies during coincident timing tasks.
Research findings suggest that experience and cognitive strategies contribute to successful performance during perceptual-motor tasks. This article critically reviews selected literature on the effects of information-processing skills, preferred movement time, experience, and task difficulty on performance during coincident timing tasks. Theoretical information and research findings are discuss...
متن کاملPostural Adaptation of the Spatial Reference Frames to Microgravity: Back to the Egocentric Reference Frame
BACKGROUND In order to test how gravitational information would affect the choice of stable reference frame used to control posture and voluntary movement, we have analysed the forearm stabilisation during sit to stand movement under microgravity condition obtained during parabolic flights. In this study, we hypothesised that in response to the transient loss of graviceptive information, the po...
متن کاملAge-related changes of postural control: effect of cognitive tasks.
BACKGROUND Postural control and falls in the elderly constitute a major health problem. The interest in balance deficits is growing, as concern about the rising costs of health care increases. This issue is particularly relevant to the elderly population in which falls occur most frequently. Postural control in the elderly was studied using a cognitive approach. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this ...
متن کاملAnisotropic velocity of light in non-inertial reference frames
Up to now little attention has been paid to an expression for the velocity of light in a gravitational field derived by Einstein in 1911. It is shown that (i) this expression represents the proper velocity of light (since it is defined in terms of proper time and length), (ii) the proper velocity of light is anisotropic in non-inertial reference frames, and (iii) unlike the coordinate velocity ...
متن کاملPropagation of light in non-inertial reference frames
The explanations of two experiments in general relativity require an average coordinate and an average proper velocity of light. It is shown that both average velocities are necessary for the complete description of the propagation of light in a gravitational field and in non-inertial reference frames in general. The usefulness of the average proper velocity of light is demonstrated (i) by show...
