Integrating Gamification Principles into Photography Skill Learning: The Influence of Games on Student Motivation
… these jobs, workers are required to develop new skills to compete for emerging jobs. However, lack of motivation to learn skills and content taught in schools has been a problem that creates the possibility that current students will not be prepared to enter the future workforce. To help improve …

The Neurobiology of Motor Skill Learning: Structural Adaptation Within Sensorimotor Regions of the Rat Brain
A second series of studies revealed the AC animals to have significantly more synapses/neuron within layer II/III of the motor cortex than control animals and that this difference was dependent on the amount of training the animals received. Changes in synapse morphology were also observed in the …

A psycholinguistic exploration of focus of attention in second language learning based on recent research findings from the field of motor skill learning
Significant findings from motor skill learning research provide evidence that focus of attention (FOA), induced through instruction, impacts on performance and learning (Wulf, 2007). External FOA instructions, which direct focus to the effect of actions, enhance performance compared with internal …
