The influence of self-efficacy on motor performance
… is thought to be causally related to motor performance (Bandura, 1997;Moritz, Feltz, Fahrback, & Mack, 2000) however, the only clear evidence for this comes from a small number of studies that have found effort-based motor performance (e. g. weightlifting, leg extension) varies as a …

Neural correlates of motor performance in primary motor cortex
… the behavior of cells in the primary motor cortex that correlate with movement of the upper limb. The patterns of behavior of cells before, during, and after the application of an external forcefield to the hand of a primate performing a motor reaching task have been described. In …

The prediction of cognitive ability from sensory/motor performance : examining the role of sensory/motor performance in the Dean-Woodcock Cognitive Neuropsychology Model
… investigated the relationship between sensory/motor skills and cognitive abilities in psychiatric and neurologically impaired patients to determine how sensory/motor skills are associated with cognitive abilities. Previous research has demonstrated a significant relationship between performance …

Factors that influence motor performance: Colour, inhibition and conscious processing
… psychological mechanisms that influence motor performance in sport, including colour, inhibition function, and propensity for conscious control of movement. A question was raised about whether individuals with poor inhibition function would be more likely to have a high propensity for …

Active Play: perceived and actual motor performance among Ghanaian children
… both in terms of perceived competence and actual motor performance in children living in low- and middle-income countries. Promotion of active play in children is crucial for enhancing participation in physical activity and reducing the burden of obesity. Regular engagement in active play is …

Motor Resonance meets Motor Performance: Neurocognitive investigations with transcranial magnetic stimulation
… idea is to adapt a neural population in the motor system and then testing the effects of this adaptation when participants categorize visually presented actions. The second aim of the present work is to find a paradigm, or a particular cognitive set, that does not allow the simulation process …

The impact of social competence between physical activity and motor performance
… (PA) participation in children with various motor performances (MP) and to establish the impact of social competence (SC). Methods: Sixth grade children from PHAST study at Brock University (n=1958; 50.53% males) had MP test results from Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, …

Articulatory motor performance as a function of phonetic complexity in Parkinson's disease
… be leveraged for the assessment of articulatory performance in talkers with progressive dysarthria. Future work will be directed towards linking speech kinematic and perceptual findings to determine the clinical significance of the current kinematic results.

Effect of neck muscle vibration on upper limb sensorimotor integration and motor performance
… involved in SMI of neck sensory inputs and motor learning; therefore, it is likely that altered neck sensory input will impact cerebellar processing. However, it is unclear whether acute models of altered afferent input from vibration impacts SMI, somatosensory processing, and …

Situational Context and Personality Influences on Motor Performance: A Test of Self-Determination Theory
<p>This research attempted to predict motor performance through consideration of an individual's personality orientation and the manipulation of motivation through priming a specified situational context. The effect of the personality orientation and situational prime on self-handicapping was also …

The Effects of Task Preference on Speech and Motor Performance Under Divided Attention Conditions
<p>Dual task performance and the interaction of tasks has been the subject of much research. When tasks are performed together they affect each other to varying degrees depending upon such factors as the similarity of the tasks, their difficulty, and whether one task is given preference over …

The Effect of Self-Controlled Versus Fixed Post-KR Delay on Motor Performance and Learning
… purpose of this study was to identify whether motor learning and performance are differentially impacted by having control, versus not having control, over the post-KR delay duration. Participants performed a five key serial-timing task with a goal time of 2500ms for 80 acquisition trials …

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the influence of multisensory processes and sensorimotor integration on motor performance
… Disorder (ADHD) influences processes relating to motor learning, sensory integration, and somatosensory processing. ADHD is associated with difficulties in motor control, including alterations to neural structure and function. However, it is unknown how these characteristics may influence motor …
