People often make decisions by stochastically retrieving a small set of relevant memories. This limited retrieval implies that human performance can be improved by training on idealized category distributions (Giguère & Love, 2013). Here, we evaluate whether the benefits of idealized training extend to categorization of real-world stimuli, namely classifying mammograms as normal or tumorous. Pa...

Practicing simple visual tasks induces substantial improvement. We investigated whether increased efficiency is accompanied by automaticity and immunity to across-task interference. We found that although practice speeds orientation feature detection, it does not abolish susceptibility to interference from introduction of concurrent central-letter identification, which takes priority. Yet follo...

The purpose was to assess a novel form of strength training, antagonist resisted training (ART), with potential use in microgravity and athletic rehabilitation settings. ART uses the force from antagonist muscles, during cocontractions, as the source of resistance for the agonists. Strength and electromyography (EMG) measurements were recorded before and after a 6-week training program during w...

Sports training must obey well-defined principles and rules to lead progress in the of practitioners. The purpose research is discover those innovative methods techniques martial arts that development physical parameters as well technical-tactical training. experimental took place over a period 6 weeks, including 12 athletes, members Sen Craiova Club, aged between 20-35 years. Following analysi...

BACKGROUND Children with cerebral palsy (CP) require individualized long-term management to maintain and improve motor functions. The objective of this study was to explore potential effects of synchronized metronome training (SMT) on movement kinematics in two children diagnosed with spastic hemiplegic CP (HCP). METHOD Both children underwent 4-weeks/12 sessions of SMT by means of the Intera...

1631 Exercise Training and OSA Severity—Kline et al preliminary evidence. Epidemiologic research has suggested that individuals who are physically active have a reduced risk of OSA compared to individuals who are less active.10,11 Moreover, small-scale (often uncontrolled) experimental studies have found the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) to be reduced up to 50% following chronic exercise training....

We previously demonstrated that daily, hour-long training sessions significantly improved both locomotor (limb kinematics, gait, and hindlimb flexor-extensor bursting patterns) and nonlocomotor (bladder function and at-level mechanical allodynia) functions following a moderate contusive spinal cord injury. The amount of training needed to achieve this recovery is unknown. Furthermore, whether t...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this meta-analysis was to study the short-term adaptations on sprint and vertical jump (VJ) performance following Complex Training (CT) in team-sports. CT is a resistance training method aimed at developing both strength and power, which has a direct effect on sprint and VJ. It consists on alternating heavy resistance training exercises with plyometric/power ones, set f...

objective: the  implementation of  family  psychoeducation at  the  service delivery level is not without difficulty. few mental health professionals receive special training to work with families especially in iran.   the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of training health professionals in terms of their adherence to protocol. method: eight professionals (general prac...
