Habitually practising different motor skills can help ensure young children have the key competencies and abilities to move ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Susanne Morton has spent more than two decades studying motor learning. Morton is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy (PT) at the University of Delaware’s College of Health ...

From writing and typing to playing a musical instrument or mastering a sport, learning movement-based tasks is one of the brain’s most complex challenges. This collaborative new study reveals how the ...

Many police firearms training programs confuse exposure with true learning, creating skills that work on the firing range but fail under real-world pressure.

A new study led by Cedars-Sinai investigators identified a marker in the brain that controls the ability to reach and grasp, a fundamental fine motor skill that is often impaired in motor or neural ...

Getting "a good night's sleep" is a phrase we are all familiar with. Sleep and its "quality" are things many of us struggle with. Sleep is a hugely studied research topic. Just typing "sleep" as a ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...
