developmental differences in motor sequence learning: task learning approach based on motor development

چکیده
learning motor tasks is one of the fundamental attributes of mankind'sexperiences and is a collection of sensitive, cognitive and motor processes. manyof complex motor behaviors are performed based on a type of order or sequence.in the present study, the developmental differences in motor sequence learningwere examined in three groups of children (age range 7,8,10 yr) and one controlgroup of adults. for this purpose, the professional software of sequential stimuli,time record and response error was designed in c++. 48 right-handed participants(3 groups of 12 children and 1 group of 12 adults) who were healthy in theirnervous system and had no prior experience of the mentioned task participated inthis study. the intervention included 10 stages (8 stages for acquisition and 2stages for retention). performance was assessed by examining changes in accuracyand response coordination. the data were analyzed with factor analysis ofvariance and kolmogorov-smirnov test. the results showed a developmentalprogression in motor sequence learning in all groups. interestingly, differentdevelopmental trajectories were observed in response accuracy and coordination.there was a significant difference in response accuracy between 7,8-year-oldgroups and adults and 10-year-old groups in the acquisition phase but nosignificant difference was observed between adults and 10-year-old-group. forresponse coordination, adults responded to the stimuli more synchronously than allchildren and 10-year-old group responded more quickly than 6-year-old group. inthe retention test, for response accuracy, 10-year-old group's performance wassimilar to adults and for response coordination, adults performed more synchronously than all groups but 7-year-old group had a delay in responsecoordination compared to the other groups. overall, the differences observed inresponse accuracy and coordination was consistent with the hypothesis thataccuracy may rely on cortical pathways that show their greatest maturationbetween ages of 7 and 10 whereas coordination may rely on subcortical pathwaysthat continue to develop into young adulthood. the findings suggested that in onehand, various aspects of motor development influence motor learning and on theother hand during the learning of different components of a task, parameters thatare more difficult with regard to motor control ( for example responsecoordination) are acquired and maintained in a longer process.

Individual differences in implicit motor learning: task specificity in sensorimotor adaptation and sequence learning.
In standard taxonomies, motor skills are typically treated as representative of implicit or procedural memory. We examined two emblematic tasks of implicit motor learning, sensorimotor adaptation and sequence learning, asking whether individual differences in learning are correlated between these tasks, as well as how individual differences within each task are related to different performance ...
متن کاملA Developmental Approach Aids Motor Learning
Bernstein (1967) suggested that people attempting to learn to perform a difficult motor task try to ameliorate the degrees-of-freedom problem through the use of a developmental progression. Early in training, people maintain a subset of their control parameters (e.g., joint positions) at constant settings and attempt to learn to perform the task by varying the values of the remaining parameters...

Sleep has been shown to affect the consolidation of motor memory in adults. However, sleep-dependent consolidation is not well-specified in children as like as adults. So, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sleep on childrenchr('39')s motor memory consolidation. The participants were 32 voluntary boys aging from 10 to 12 years old from city of Kerman, which had the necess...

The purpose of the present study was to explore the possibility of a procedural learning deficit among children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We tested 34 children aged 6 to 12 years with and without DCD using the serial reaction time task, in which the standard keyboard was replaced by a touch screen in order to minimize the impact of perceptuomotor coordination difficulties ...
متن کاملMotor Task Learning Generalization
We investigated how an internal model is generalized when the dynamics of the arm is changed during reaching movements in a force field. We also investigated whether generalization occurs in intrinsic or extrinsic coordinates. Three regions of the workspace were used to train and test the subjects: Left, Right and Center. The subjects were trained in one region with a force field and then were ...
