Visuomotor adaptation in young adults with and without motor difficulties
… (DCD) have shown motor learning deficits in visuomotor adaptation tasks, and the failure of detecting errors seems to be the key that impedes motor learning. Recent studies suggested that presenting larger feedback improves the rate and extent of motor learning in healthy subjects and stroke …

Visuomotor adaptation in older adults with and without cognitive impairment
… learning processes are believed to be central to visuomotor adaptation. Research has shown that increasing error feedback may enhance adaptation in neurologically damaged participants. Some literature on dementia and motor learning has indicated that demented patients have a tendency to rely more …

The Effect of Mental Fatigue on Explicit and Implicit Contributions to Visuomotor Adaptation
… and implicit (unconscious) processes to visuomotor adaptation. Participants were divided into Mental Fatigue (MF) and Control groups. Mental fatigue was induced through a time load dual back task (TLDB), in which participants were required to respond as quickly and accurately as possible …

Using visual feedback to guide movement: Properties of adaptation in changing environments and Parkinson's disease
… Current literature characterizes the process of visuomotor adaptation, but fails to consider the incremental response to sensed errors that comprise a fully adaptive process. We aimed to understand the properties of the trial-by-trial transformation of sensed visual error into subsequent motor …

Visuomotor Learning and Proprioception Across Development
… simplest daily tasks. This can be examined in visuomotor adaptation paradigms where the motor system is challenged to compensate for changes in vision, such as learning to reach to targets on a screen with a misaligned hand-cursor, which our brains do through trial-and-error. A motor command is …

The Effect of Age on Visuomotor Learning Processes
… although this ability can decline with age. Adaptation of movements, such as reaching with altered visual feedback, is thought to rely on the quality of sensory feedback and how well we can predict our movements. Cognitive strategies can also contribute to how quickly adaptation can occur. …

Initial Implicit Changes in Adaptation as a Function of Different Perturbations
Implicit motor adaptation allows us to maintain accurate movements under changing conditions. This process, driven by sensory prediction errors (SPE), mismatches between predicted and observed sensory-motor outcomes, corrects motor commands unconsciously. This study examined the extent to which …

Prism Adaptation Effects on the Attentional Window
<p>Prism adaptation, a visuomotor adaptation procedure that employs a lateral shift of the visual field, has been widely shown to affect lateral biases in the distribution of spatial attention in healthy individuals. The effects of prism adaptation on the size of the attentional window, the limited …

Prism adaptation in a case of cerebellar agenesis
… effects of prism goggles. A measure of this adaptation comes from the negative aftereffects in reaching that subjects show after the prism goggles are removed. Neural circuitry within the cerebellar cortex has been implicated as the site of plasticity for visuomotor adaptation. An opportunity …
