introduction: the aim of this study was to assess of both implicit and explicit motor sequence learning in children with attention deficit hyper activity disorder (adhd) and typical peers , by serial reaction time task. materials and methods: the sample size for each group was 12. the study sample was included 24 children with adhd, in explicit learning group and implicit learning group.  and 2...

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 in two...

objective(s):neurotoxicity of anticancer drugs complicates treatment of cancer patients. vinblastine (vbl) is reported to induce motor and cognitive impairments in patients receiving chronic low-dose regimen. materials and methods: the effects of vbl treatment on motor, learning and memory functions of male and female wistar rats were studied by behavioral related tests. animals were given chro...

abstract background and purpose: aging is associated with brain changes and reduction in motor skill acquisi­tion that can limit its functional capacity. one of the effective interventions is using transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs). the aim of this systematic review was to assess the effect of tdcs on learning and motor skill in healthy older adults. materials and methods: a litera...

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 pre...

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 neuro...

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 effects o...

it is important for people to improve cognitive and motor performance. the purpouse of this study was to investigate the effect of running on treadmill in spatial memory and learning and motor performance. 24 albino-wistar healthy male rats were randomly divided into control and activity groups. activity group ran 7 days on treadmill (speed 22m/min 30 minutes a day). after the end of activity p...
