Recently, the number of studies on virtual environments for supporting sport skill learning has been growing. Most of the studies have focused on improving the quality of the environment created by virtual reality technology. In contrast, this study focused on the visual feedback of trainees’ performances. When a trainee moves within a virtual environment shown on a display device, the trainee ...

Learning of procedural skills develops gradually, with performance improving significantly with practice. But improvement on some tasks, including a visual texture discrimination task, continues in the absence of further practice, expressly during periods of sleep and not across equivalent waking episodes. Here we report that the brain activation revealed significantly different patterns of per...

The dual-system model of sequence learning posits that during early learning there is an advantage for encoding sequences in sensory frames; however, it remains unclear whether this advantage extends to long-term consolidation. Using the serial RT task, we set out to distinguish the dynamics of learning sequential orders of visual cues from learning sequential responses. On each day, most parti...

OBJECTIVE To describe the impact of Rockwell's early eye movements research. BACKGROUND The advent of a new technology enabling measurements of eye movements in natural environments launched the seminal research of a Human Factors pioneer, Tom Rockwell, into how drivers process visual information. METHOD In two seminal Human Factors articles -"Mapping Eye-Movement Pattern to the Visual Scen...

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness TouchMath technique in teaching problem-solving skills students with intellectual disability. In addition, generalization effect instruction delivered through different settings and materials maintenance after 10 20 days were investigated. This adopted multiple probe across participants which one single case research approaches. depend...

This experiment used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to examine the relation between individual differences in cognitive skill and the amount of cortical activation engendered by two strategies (linguistic vs. visual-spatial) in a sentence-picture verification task. The verbal strategy produced more activation in language-related cortical regions (e.g., Broca's area), whereas the visual-s...

Past research on labour market skill shortages indicates that whether respondents report skill shortages or hard-to-fill vacancies do so for widely different reasons. Nevertheless, there is some consensus that skill shortages analysis needs to examine such shortages within the context of the local labour market in order to understand the labour market dynamics and structural factors that affect...

aim and background: deficit of theory of mind is a fundamental impairment of social skill in autistic children. the purpose of present study was evaluation of cognitive rehabilitation on social cognition abilities of children with high function autism. methods and materials: in present single subject study, 4 children with high function autism participated in study with no probably sampling. si...
