Introduction: Positive social comparative feedback indicates to the learner that they are performing better than others. While this type feedback supports motor skill learning in some tasks, the effect of social comparative feedback on implicit motor sequence learning remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of positive social comparative feedback on the learning of and expectancies for a motor sequence task. Methods: Forty-eight individuals practiced a joystick-based sequence task and were divided into three feedback groups: CONTROL (no performance feedback), RT ONLY (response time only feedback), and RT+POS (response time plus positive social comparison). Participants …

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has emerged over the past 10-12 years as safe, affordable, portable, easy to use, and potentially efficacious adjuvant training intervention in several aspects of human performance. tDCS has been shown to be able to improve both cognitive and motor function in a wide variety of populations such as young adults, older adults, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and many others. However, the majority of tDCS research has been conducted in the motor system of healthy young adults, which will also be the focus of this dissertation.The basic effects of tDCS …
The Effects Of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Over Multiple Days On Shooting Performance In Elite Deaflympic Athletes: A Case Series, Nicholas Pudar, Milan Pantovic, Sheniz Mooney, Brach Poston
The Effects Of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Over Multiple Days On Shooting Performance In Elite Deaflympic Athletes: A Case Series, Nicholas Pudar, Milan Pantovic, Sheniz Mooney, Brach Poston
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation method that has shown the ability to enhance motor learning in numerous studies. However, only a few of these studies have been conducted on elite level performers or in complex motor tasks that have been practiced extensively. Rifle shooting is a difficult motor task that has real-world implications in military, police, and sport settings. Although a few studies have investigated the influence of tDCS on shooting performance, these were all acute studies conducted on novice performers. The PURPOSE was to determine the effects of DLPFC-tDCS on motor learning over multiple days …

Discriminating Talent Identified Junior Australian Footballers Using A Fundamental Gross Athletic Movement Assessment, Carle T. Woods, Henry Banyard, Ian Mckeown, Job Fransen, Sam J. Robertson
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Talent identification (TID) is a pertinent component of the sports sciences, affording practitioners the opportunity to target developmental interventions to a select few; optimising financial investments. However, TID is multi-componential, requiring the recognition of immediate and prospective performance. The measurement of athletic movement skill may afford practitioners insight into the latter component given its augmented relationship with functional sport specific qualities. It is currently unknown whether athletic movement skill is a discriminant quality in junior Australian football (AF). This study aimed to discriminate talent identified junior AF players from their non-talent identified counterparts using a fundamental gross athletic movement assessment. …

Optimising Motor Learning In Infants At High Risk Of Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study, Catherine Morgan, Iona Novak, Russell Dale, Nadia Badawi
Medical Papers and Journal Articles
Background: The average age for the diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is 19 months. Recent neuroplasticity literature suggests that intensive, task-specific intervention ought to commence as early as possible and in an enriched environment, during the critical period of neural development. Active motor interventions are effective in some populations, however the effects of active motor interventions on the motor outcomes of infants with CP have not been researched thoroughly, but pilot work is promising. The aim of this study was to determine the short- term effects of “GAME”; a new and novel goal-oriented activity-based, environmental enrichment therapy programme on the …

The Development Of An Objective Multi-Dimensional Approach To Talent Identification In Junior Australian Football, Carl T C Woods
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Talent identification (TID) is a pertinent component of the sports science discipline given the considerable influence it may have within the pursuit of excellence. Thus, research has attempted to identify the determinants of a talented performance through the use of objective testing procedures. However, many of these ‘traditional’ approaches have been operationalised by mono-dimensional objective physical performance tests that do not inherently account for the multi-dimensional requisites of game-play, particularly within a team sporting context. This is problematic when attempting to identify talent, as a successful performance in team sports is often the combination of physical, technical and tactical elements. …
Physical Wellness: The Relationship Between Motor Skill, Fitness And Physical Activity In Young Children, Beth P. Hands, Helen Parker
Physical Wellness: The Relationship Between Motor Skill, Fitness And Physical Activity In Young Children, Beth P. Hands, Helen Parker
Health Sciences Conference Papers
The health benefits of adequate physical activity levels for children are well reported. However, we cannot assume that children will choose to be sufficiently active of their own accord. Motor competence and fitness are increasingly highlighted as key co-determinants of physical activity in young children (Hands, Parker, & Larkin, 2001) and where possible strategies to enhance these factors should be included in early childhood settings. However few studies have adopted an integrated view of the collective effects of these three factors on developing healthy children. This presentation explores interrelationships between measures of motor skill competence, fitness, and weekly physical activity …
