Teaching the Unknowable: Does Analogy Lead to Implicit Skill Acquisition in a Dart-Throwing Task?
… of an implicit mode of learning. On Day 1, dart novices learned to throw darts as close as possible to the centre of a target under one of three scenarios: control (without instruction), implicit (while performing a distracting secondary task), and analogy (while imagining an analogous …

Exploring the effects of mental fatigue on perceptual motor task performance and kinematics
… performance accuracy and arm kinematics during dart throwing. Dart throw accuracy and kinematic performance were observed as two groups of participants performed two sets of dart throws, one group undergoing a mentally demanding task and one as a control. No significant changes in accuracy …

Effects of altered sensory input from the neck on cerebellar function, body schema and sensorimotor integration
… tested SCNP participants on upper extremity dart throwing. Three sets of ten darts were thrown at a slow-to-normal speed and three sets of ten darts were thrown at a fast speed. Compared to healthy participants, SCNP participants showed significantly greater elbow and forearm variability in …

Robust adaptive control modeling of human arm movements subject to altered gravity and mechanical loads
… two different sets of experiments. A series of dart throwing experiments took place onboard the space station Mir. Experiments also took place at the Biomechanics lab at MIT, where the subjects performed a series of continuous trajectory tracking movements while a planar robotic manipulandum …

The contribution of coping related variables and cardiac vagal activity on performance under pressure.
… psychomotor task. Athletes (n=51) competed in a dart throwing task in high and low pressure conditions. As in study one, individuals who had higher cardiac vagal activity at rest were more likely to have higher cardiac vagal activity throughout the pressurised task. Performance was predicted by …
