Cognitive Effort and Motor Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent research on the role of practice variables during the acquisition of motor skills is reviewed. These practice variables include (a) the effects of a model's skill level during observation, (b) how augmented feedback is provided two a learner and (c) how practice conditions are arranged when learning multiple tasks. The results of research in these areas suggest that cognitive processes play an important role during the early stages of skill acquisition. Moreover, the effort by which these cognitive processes are undertaken is influenced by practice variables. Motor learning is enhanced when these variables are manipulated to promote cognitive effort by a learner.

The Relationship between Intelligence Quotient, Motor Fitness and Anthropometric Characteristics with Skills Learning Stages in Basketball
Ackerman (1988) states intelligence and motor ability as the two important abilities in three learning stages (cognitive, motor and autonomic) of Fitts and Posner. Therefore, the present study aims at investigating the relationship between Intelligence Quotient (IQ), motor fitness and anthropometric characteristics with basic basketball skills learning stages. The population includes all s...
متن کاملEffects of cognitive functions on feedback request strategy and learning of a perceptual motor task
Taking individuals' cognitive abilities into consideration can play an important role in the initial stages of learning motor skills. So, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive functions on feedback request strategy and learning of a perceptual motor task. A number of 60 university male students with a mean age of 22/4 years (SD = 1/99) were selected through...
متن کاملEstrogen agonist genistein differentially influences the cognitive and motor disorders in an ovariectomized animal model of Parkinsonism
Objective(s): Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder associated with motor disabilities and cognitive dysfunction as well. Evidence indicates that PD occurs less frequently in women than men, confirming a role for steroid hormones in protection of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons. It is reported that soy genistein, an estrogen agonist phytoestrogen, display neuroprote...
متن کاملInvestigating Motor Profile of Students with specific learning disorder and Students with learning problem
Introduction: Students require the coordination of many different skills to be successful in school. In the meantime, the role of motor skills as a cornerstone of the development of cognitive and social-emotional function is of particular importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the motor profile of students with specific learning disorder and students with learning problems....
متن کاملAerobic activity improves spatial learning and motor activity in aged rats
Aging has negative effects on motor and cognitive functions, therefore finding appropriate strategies to prevent the decline of these functions is necessary. It seems that cardiovascular fitness obtained by aerobic activity is a physiological mediator that explains the relationship between physical activity and improved cognitive performance. The aim of this research was to assess the effect...
