Concussion Recovery and Skilled Performance in Working-Aged Adults: Sex Differences in the Neural Correlates of Persisting Symptoms After Concussion
… between white matter integrity and visuomotor performance in working-age adults with persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS). We investigated the impact of sex, age, and CMI processes on visuomotor performance in PPCS. Forty-two adults (47.5 ± 9.87 years; 25 females, 17 males) completed a …

Sex-Related Differences in Visuomotor Skill Recovery Following Concussion in Working-Aged Adults
The performance of complex visuomotor tasks in which the guiding visual information does not align spatially with the required motor output is contingent on the brain's ability to integrate somatosensory information into an appropriate motor response. Performance on such "cognitive-motor …

Knowledge-based expertise as the hallmark of work of risk : an analysis of the curriculum and pedagogy of a National Diploma in Train-Driving
… education and training as preparation for skilled vocational work. In particular, it explores the nature of the curriculum and pedagogy that leads to the transmission and acquisition of risk work; defined as work that involves inherent unpredictability which depends on the skilled …

The distinct neural mechanisms underlying the production of stereotyped and exploratory vocal behavior in songbirds
… behavior, and the ultimately stereotyped skilled performance. To understand the start and end points of learned motor behaviors, I present two studies, each on the premotor activity of ensembles of neurons that underlie song production in zebra finches. Executing learned motor behaviors …

Quality and Quantity of Sleep Study and its Relationship to the Performance of LPGA Tour Players
… sleep efficiency and elite level athletic performance that has a definitive and individual measure of performance (like golf, track, & swimming) has never been systematically studied. The extreme and rigorous travel schedules of professional golfers prevent consistent and necessary sleep …

Towards a reconceptualisation of skill: a study of skills in higher education
… of national economic competitiveness, skilled performance and higher education. It is a construct which is over-used and under-theorised and paradoxically (for such a 'unifying' concept) appears to be fractured by fundamental inconsistencies and structural ambiguities.</p> <p>The aim of …

The Impact of Trainee Characteristics on Transfer of Training Over Time
… (declarative and procedural knowledge and skilled performance) would emerge as key determinants of maintenance. The model also distinguished between the use and the <em>effectiveness of use</em> of trained knowledge/skills. It was expected that trainee characteristics would be …

Turning up the variable noise: the quiet eye, functional variability and advancements in perceptual cognitive expertise
… perceptual mechanisms. In comparison to lesser-skilled athletes, experts can identify key sources of information earlier (Helsen and Pauwels, 1993). With the introduction of the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules within the English Football League System, the development of young players has …

Strategy use and basic arithmetic cognition in adults
… does not account for all single digit arithmetic performance. For example, Canadian university students solve up to 40% of basic addition problems using procedural strategies (e.g. 5 + 3 = 5 + 1 + 1 + 1). Given that procedures are less efficient than direct memory retrieval it is important to …

An investigation into the cognitive effects of instructional interface visualisations.
… task representation and post-acquisition skilled performance. The first of these experiments utilised a mechanical disassembly task to investigate novel acquisition of procedural motor skills by comparing task comprehension and performance. The other experiments expanded the initial …
