introduction: the dorsal striatum plays an important role in the control of motor activity and learning processes within the basal ganglia circuitry. furthermore, recent works have suggested functional differentiation between subregions of the dorsal striatum methods: the present study examined the effects of bilateral electrolytic lesions of the dorsomedial striatum on motor behavior and learn...

Objectives: Cerebral hemispheres functioning have been found to be abnormal in children with ASD. The role of lateralization in implicit and explicit motor learning has received little attention in ASD researches. The main goal of this study is investigating the differences between two hands implicit and explicit motor learning in children with ASD and typical matched group. Methods: In the ...

recently, researches on motor learning have illustrated that learning with effortless process supports learning under psychological stress. also, contextual interference and practice specificity theories are among those theories which investigate desired practice conditions. the current study aimed at identifying cognitive effort and effortless process based on contextual interference and pract...

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...

Introduction: Motor skills play an important role during life span, and older adults need to learn or relearn these skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate how aging affects induction of improved movement performance by motor training. Methods: Serial Reaction Time Test (SRTT) was used to assess movement performance during 8 blocks of motor training. Participants were tested i...
