Positional Coordinates for Spinal Sensory-Motor Connectivity
… neural networks. The selectivity with which sensory axons form connections with spinal motor neurons drives coordinated motor behavior. The precise profile of monosynaptic sensory-motor connectivity has been suggested to have its origins in the recognition of motor neuron subtypes by group Ia …

Sensory-motor control and adaptation in cooperative action
… set of five experiments shows how people utilise sensory information about a partner in order to control goal-directed action involving synchronous vertical hand movement. Chapter 1 reviews recent developments in studies of interpersonal interaction and highlights control issues that are critical …

Unsupervised learning of vocal tract sensory-motor synergies
… degrees of freedom problem is ubiquitous within motor control arising out of the redundancy inherent in motor systems and raises the question of how control actions are determined when there exist infinitely many ways to perform a task. Speech production is a complex motor control task and …

Reference Frames in Human Sensory, Motor, and Cognitive Processing
… of reference-frames in human perceptual, motor, and cognitive processing. In the first project, we study reference-frames in perception and develop a model to explain the transition from egocentric (based on the observer) to exocentric (based outside the observer) reference-frames to …

Designs for sensory-motor tests and other psychological apparatus
The design and construction of equipment for both basic psychological research and applied purposes in occupational selection and guidance, ergonomics, and training, is an important area that has hitherto received comparatively little recognition. Apparatus is often taken very much for granted as …

The prediction of cognitive ability from sensory/motor performance : examining the role of sensory/motor performance in the Dean-Woodcock Cognitive Neuropsychology Model
… study 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 …

Predicting neurological impairment with the Dean-Woodcock Sensory Motor Battery
… assessment is the measurement of sensory-motor performance. Many studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of neuropsychological batteries to assess neurological impairment, however examination of only the sensory-motor portion of those measures has been limited. …

Predicting closed head injury using a standardized measure of sensory-motor functioning
… purpose of the present study was to identify sensory-motor deficits caused by closed head injury (CHI) when individuals with CHI are compared to a normal sample. The study also investigated lower-level sensory-motor functioning, such as gait, balance, and coordination and its relation to …

Predicting closed head injury status with the Dean-Woodcock Sensory Motor Battery
… was to examine the utility of the Dean-Woodcock Sensory Motor Battery (DWSMB) as a diagnostic tool for identifying individuals with and without closed-head injury, comparing the predictive power of a two- and three-factor representation (DWSMB; Dean & Woodcock, 2003). The current study's major …

Exploring a behavioral role for presynaptic inhibition at spinal sensory-motor synapses
… of mammalian movement relies on excitatory sensory feedback supplied by proprioceptors, and its context-dependent refinement by spinal inhibitory microcircuits. One microcircuit that has been implicated in the regulation of sensory input establishes inhibitory synapses directly on the …

Canonical relationship between sensory-motor functions and cognitive factors in traumatic brain injury
Access to abstract permanently restricted to Ball State community only

Language and Embodiment: sensory-motor and linguistic-social experience. Evidence on sentence comprehension
… supporting the idea that language modulates the motor system in a specific way, both at a proximal level (sensibility to the effectors) and at the distal level (sensibility to the goal of the action in which the single motor acts are inserted). I will present two studies in which the method is …

Construct validity and sensitivity of the spine dysfunction, stress & sensory-motor integration questionnaire in individuals with neck dysfunction
The Spine Dysfunction – Stress and Sensory-Motor Integration Questionnaire (SD-SSMI-Q), a newly developed questionnaire, can reliably document sensory processing and sensorimotor dysfunction in those with altered sensorimotor integration (SMI) from a neck dysfunction. The SD-SSMI-Q has not been …

Examining the Perspectives of an Interdisciplinary Treatment Team Regarding the Implementation of a Sensory Motor Group Trauma Curriculum in a Child and Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program
… findings led to several conclusions: (a) the sensory motor curriculum implemented in the trauma groups at a children's partial program should be continued; (b) the twice-monthly case consultation meetings with the professional staff at the partial hospitalization program should continue with a …

The connectivity of the mammalian prefrontal cortex
… ordered projections from PFC to temporal and sensory-motor cortices in three axes of orientation (p<0.001), showing differential ordering of input and output connections (p<0.001). Ordered connections were consistent across PFC (from anterior to posterior) and showed evidence of changes in …

The Effects of Multisensory Imagery on Vocabulary Learning
… 1) Does having college students generate sensory motor images elaborating the meanings of pseudo words produce better memory for the words and their meanings than generating visual images? 2) Does having students generate images of either sort produce better memory for the words than …

The neuropsychology of autism and Asperger's disorder : evidence for or against a shared spectrum
… clinical service. The utility of a standardized sensory-motor battery was investigated in regards to its ability (1) to determine what, if any, differences exist between ASD diagnoses or subgroups in both sensory functioning and motor functioning; and (2) to determine whether such discrepancies, …

Toward Building A Social Robot With An Emotion-based Internal Control
… architecture, and propose the design of the sensory motor level (the first layer of the three-layered architecture) inspired by the Multilevel Process Theory of Emotion on one hand, and hybrid robotic architecture on the other hand. The sensory-motor level receives and processes incoming …

Cloning and Characterization of the Vasopressin-Oxytocin Neuropeptide Signaling System in the Vocal Control System of the Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
… of complex behavioral patterns involves sensory-motor functions. How social interactions modulate sensory-motor mechanisms that promote complex behavior acquisition and maintenance can be well study in vocal learning birds. Here, in addition to reviewing the pertinent literature, I clone …
