Humans Versus Robots: Converting Golf Putter Trajectories for Robotic Guidance

trajectory can be for motivational purposes, as being told that one is exposed to an improved version of themself should yield a lower perceived task difficulty and higher perception of mastery versus being exposed to an expert’s trajectory. In our experience, participants were happy to train with the robot
The Effect of Rewards and Punishments on Learning Action Selection and Execution Components of a Motor Skill

learning task and the golf putting task exhibited learning effects, which could posteriorly be moderated by other factors. Participants Seventeen young adults (7 females, M age = 21.0 years, 95% CI [20.1, 22.0]) without any previous experience with either task and who were naïve to the purpose of the

learners who would thus respond well to independent learning opportunities, in which they could draw upon their own experiences, and for which the learning could be applied directly to their practice. The research outcome of Part 3 was a two-component online workshop designed with an asynchronous component
Dyad Training in a Perceptual-Motor Task: “Two Pairs of Eyes Are Better Than One”

simultaneously prepares and executes an impending movement. This means, information that was observed or communicated in the intertrial dialog, that has the promise to increase performance, can be tested immediately in the following physical practice trial. This theoretical assumption is close to experiences
Self-Perceptions, Parents’ Perceptions, Metaperceptions, and Locomotor Skills in Adolescents With Visual Impairments: A Preliminary Investigation
Alexandra Stribing, Adam Pennell, Emily N. Gilbert, Lauren J. Lieberman, and Ali Brian
Approximately 56,000 children and adolescents in the United States experience visual impairments (VI), to a varying degree, which may include blindness in an educational setting ( American Foundation for the Blind, 2017 ; American Printing House for the Blind, 2018 ). Individuals with VI are 1

lifelong PA and MC had a positive impact on child motor skill performance ( Invernizzi et al., 2019 ). Even though there has been promise in providing during-school motor skill interventions, there is still a need to provide alternative options for children to engage in movement experiences to increase PA

measure the brain signals (e.g., mu-wave or mu rhythm). They show a strong relationship between an infant’s action experience (i.e., crawling) and the perception of others performing that action ( van Elk, van Schie, Hunnius, Vesper, & Bekkering, 2008 ). In addition, EEG measures have shown infants
