Motor planning for reach memorization task in 3D space
Arm reaching towards remembered targets in three-dimensional space was analyzed. The aim of the project was to test whether various amounts of visual feedback, in combination with constant forces applied to the arm during reaching would affect the magnitude and direction of the reaching errors. The …

Promoting enhanced motor planning in prosthesis users via matched limb imitation
… cortical systems active in amputees performing motor tasks may reveal atypical motor control strategies that contribute to these issues. Substantial evidence demonstrates a strong dependence on left parietofrontal cortical areas to successfully plan and execute tool-use movements and pantomimes. …

Influence of Vibratory Plantar Stimulation on Cortical Motor Planning and Spatiotemporal Step Parameters
… on coordinated neuromuscular control, proactive motor planning, and continuous integration of sensory feedback. The premotor cortex (PMC) supports movement preparation, while plantar mechanoreceptors provide essential input for anticipatory postural adjustments and gait initiation. Although …

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Motor Planning with Core Vocabulary: A Behavior Analytic Account
… the current study introduced the topic of motor planning with core vocabulary as considerations for use with tablet-based technology as SGDs to the behavior analytic literature. Because motor planning refers to the inner process of determining how to move, behavior analysts may be skeptical …

CONTRIBUTIONS OF A COMPELLED-RESPONSE PARADIGM TO THE ANTISACCADE TASK FOR PARSING PERCEPTION, MOTOR PLANNING, AND COGNITION IN HUMANS
… manipulated with its introduction into decision planning. To date, little is known about the neural correlates from which cognition originates and how long it takes to integrate such information. The present human psychophysical study combines the classic antisaccade task, which requires subjects …

On the neuronal processing of movement dynamics
… collects five essays on how neurons in four motor areas of the frontal lobe process the movement dynamics. In the experiments described, monkeys executed visually instructed reaching movements while holding the handle of a robotic arm. Motors attached to the robot allowed turning on and off …

Video Modeling and Occupational Engagement In Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… of relative weakness (Campbell et al., 2015). Motor planning tends to be an area of relative deficit for individuals with ASD that can also be minimized with the use of VM. VM supports occupational engagement, yet, it is under-utilized due to insufficient awareness and time required to design …

The role of planning in motor learning
Humans can learn a remarkable diversity of motor skills. While these skills are sometimes long lasting, they may also be subject to interference. For example, people can learn to reach in the presence of a dynamic (force-field) perturbation generated by a robotic interface. However, when two force …

Optimal control strategies for saccadic eye movements in humans
Human motor control systems are complicated by issues of nonlinearity, redundancy, and multiple degrees of freedom. A great variety of mathematical and engineering approaches have been applied to the problem of modeling human movement systems: open and closed loop control, dynamic optimization, …

Sensorimotor adaptation to perturbations of vowel acoustics and is relation to perception
… The first study investigated auditory sensorimotor adaptation (SA) as it relates to speech production: the process by which speakers alter their speech production in order to compensate for perturbations of normal auditory feedback. Specifically, the first formant frequency (F1) was shifted in …

Semantically Based Lexical Processing Yields Unique Topographic Contributions to the Speech Bereitschaftspotential
… an event related potential believed to reflect motor planning and preparedness. Although the relationship between the BP and volitional movements of the distal limbs is well established, studies of the BP and speech have produced inconclusive findings. The most heavily debated of these findings …

Bio-social aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Neurophysiology, maturity, motor function and how symptoms relate to family interaction
… (age 6-9) were examined with skeletal bone-age, motor examination by the physical education teacher, and parent and teacher questionnaires concerning ADHD-symptoms. Thirty-five children were video-taped during neurological examination. Twenty children were examined on two occasions with four …

Facilitating multisyllabic productions with a hybrid treatment approach in three preschool-age children
… approach, incorporating both linguistic and motor learning strategies, to facilitate multisyllabic productions in three preschool-age children who were at the single-word stage of development. Key to this design was the selection of thirty multisyllabic targets: 15 treatment and 15 control …

From prosodic structure to acoustic saliency: an fMRI investigation of speech rate, clarity, and emphasis
… can arise at many stages in speech production planning and execution. For example, at the phonological encoding stage, the grouping of phonemes into syllables determines which segments are coarticulated and, by consequence, segment-level acoustic variation. Likewise phonetic encoding, which …

Rewiring neural conduits : engineering neuromuscular tissues for bidirectional neuroprosthetic interfacing
… which is critical for sensory integration, motor planning, peripheral and central neurological health, and myoelectric prosthesis control. Utilizing a paradigm of coevolution, I simultaneously engineer neuromuscular anatomy and bioelectronics to enable seamless, bidirectional neuroprosthetic …

The role of frontal cortical-basal ganglia circuits in simple and sequential visuomotor learning
… related regions of frontal cortex in visuomotor learning. Two experiments were conducted to elucidate the role of frontal cortex and striatum in visuomotor learning. Several tasks were used to characterize motor function including: a visuomotor reaction time (VSRT) task, measuring response …

Avian Cerebellum Specialization in Relation to Acrobatic Courtship Displays in Manakins (Pipridae)
… elaborate displays exhibit specializations in motor planning and coordination areas of the brain. Several studies have suggested a relationship between cerebellum (Cb) morphology and distinct motor-related functions for the anterior Cb (somatosensory, flying, hopping/walking), posterior Cb …

Treatment Effectiveness in Preschool Education- A Look at Affective Variables
… initiation, self-stimulation levels, echolalia, motor planning and language skills, and biomedical factors. No differences were seen between treatment programs on all outcome measures. The individual characteristics of the children played the more significant role in determining social …
