2 Inhibiting impulsive reactions while still defending one's vital resources is paramount to functional self-control and successful development in a social environment. However, this ability of successfully inhibiting, and thus controlling one's impulsivity, often fails, leading to consequences ranging from motor impulsivity to aggressive reactions following provocation. Although inhibitory fai...

During the luffing of portal crane, height changing center gravity boom needs to consume extra energy, which not only wastes but also makes drive system need use a larger motor. This paper uses lever-movable counterweight balance method design self-weight and verifies that designed jib meets requirements maximum deviation, unbalanced torque comprehensive by evenly taking points. The power unnec...

the relationship between motor skills and other aspects of personality, such as self-concept, social and emotional behavior, proposes the necessity of working on motor skills and activities. investigation of the social abilities seems beneficial for whom with the special needs. the current study investigated the influence of yoga rhythmic movements on social interactions of children with mental...

We used a panel design and the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 19 states between 2003 and 2010 to examine the impact of texting bans on crash-related hospitalizations. We conducted conditional negative binomial regressions with state, year, and month fixed effects to examine changes in crash-related hospitalizations in states after the enactment of a texting ban relative to those in states wit...

The function of the motor cortex has been a persistent mystery. A recent study has found striking correspondence between the descending projections of lamprey pallium and mammalian motor cortex, encouraging comparative studies of the origin (and role) of forebrain motor control.

This article describes an approach to motor synergies that allows them to be quantified in people with atypical movement patterns during exercise or practice. Within this approach, motor variability may be classified with respect to a task-specific performance variable as "good" (not affecting the variable) or "bad" (changing the variable). The authors review studies of motor synergies in peopl...

Sound localization has been widely studied with the aim of building artificial systems as well as understanding the mechanism underlying the same process in the biological systems. Nevertheless, in robotics the use of auditory cues has been rather limited. We present an artificial sound localization system and its implementation in an embodied, self-developing agent, capable of acquiring and en...
