Performance of Down syndrome subjects during a coincident timing task
(2013-04-30)
Background: The time synchronization is a very important ability for the acquisition and performance of motor skills that generate the need to adapt the actions of body segments to external events of the environment that ...
Influence of dual-task constraints on the interaction between posture and movement during a lower limb pointing task
(2018-04-01)
One of the challenges regarding human motor control is making the movement fluid and at a limited cognitive cost. The coordination between posture and movement is a necessary requirement to perform daily life tasks. The ...
Treino prévio reduz o tempo de execução de tarefas visuo-espaciais em ambiente virtual
(2008-12-01)
Objective. To evaluate the influence of previous adaptation to different computational environments in visuo-spacial tasks performance of healthy individuals. Method. Healthy volunteers (n = 30), 15 male, mean age 25.3 ± ...
The influence of the flexibility of the chair seat on pressure peak and distribution of the contact area in individuals with cerebral palsy during the execution of a task
(2011-07-01)
This study aimed to determine the influence of flexibility of the chair seat surface on the pressure peak and on the contact area during the execution of a task of handling an object on the seated position by individuals ...
Cognition and dual-task performance in older adults with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease
(2014-07-21)
Background: Patients with neurodegenerative diseases usually experience significant functional deficits. Older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) may suffer from both motor and cognitive ...
Task complexity reveals expertise of table tennis players
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2016-01-01)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of intensive practice in table tennis on perceptual, decision-making and motor-systems. Groups of elite (HL, N.=11), intermediate (LL, N.=6) and control players ...

Brain mechanisms of serial and parallel processing during dual-task performance
(Society for Neuroscience, 2008-12)
The psychological refractory period (PRP) refers to the fact that humans typically cannot perform two tasks at once. Behavioral experiments have led to the proposal that, in fact, peripheral perceptual and motor stages ...
Effects of practice on task architecture: Combined evidence from interference experiments and random-walk models of decision making
(ELSERVIER, 2011-04)
Does extensive practice reduce or eliminate central interference in dual-task processing? We explored the reorganization of task architecture with practice by combining interference analysis (delays in dual-task experiment) ...
Higher autonomic activation predicts better performance in Iowa Gambling Task
(Lippincott Williams, 2011-06)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the autonomic nervous system basal state and performance in decision-making tasks. BACKGROUND: The link between performance in decision-making tasks and acute changes in ...
