When we actively interact with the environment, it is crucial that we perceive a precise temporal relationship between our own actions and sensory effects to guide our body movements. Thus, we hypothesized that voluntary movements improve perceptual sensitivity to the temporal disparity between auditory and movement-related somatosensory events compared to when they are delivered passively to s...

The competitive-kinesthetic interaction therapy is based on several clinical observations of patients who are treated with the Brügger therapy in the "Murnau approach" and who are suffering from different pain syndromes in their movement system. These patients reported definite lessening of their tinnitus, including (in some cases) a complete cessation of their subjective ear noise, as a result...

This study investigated the effects of kinesthetic stimuli on brain activities during a sustained-attention task in an immersive driving simulator. Tonic and phasic brain responses on multiple timescales were analyzed using time-frequency analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) sources identified by independent component analysis (ICA). Sorting EEG spectra with respect to reaction times (RT) ...

Several experimental studies in the literature have shown that even when performing purely kinesthetic tasks, such as reaching for a kinesthetically felt target with a hidden hand, the brain reconstructs a visual representation of the movement. In our previous studies, however, we did not observe any role of a visual representation of the movement in a purely kinesthetic task. This apparent con...

Breckler J, Yu JR. Student responses to a hands-on kinesthetic lecture activity for learning about the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. Adv Physiol Educ 35: 39–47, 2011; doi:10.1152/advan.00090.2010.—This article describes a new hands-on, or “kinesthetic,” activity for use in a physiology lecture hall to help students comprehend an important concept in cardiopulmonary physiology known as oxyg...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder defined by motor impairments that include rigidity, systemic slowdown of movement (bradykinesia), postural problems, and tremor. While the progressive decline in motor output functions is well documented, less understood are impairments linked to the continuous kinesthetic sensation emerging from the flow of motions. There is growing evid...

This study investigated the impact of visual-kinesthetic tasks on ESP university students’ vocabulary learning. Two intact classes of university students were selected as control (23 students) and experimental (36 students) group. A proficiency test, a pretest and a posttest were administered and the students were exposed to a set of treatments. Also a questionnaire administered to students, re...

Normal dogs were trained on a go left-go right time discrimination task involving 10 and 30 s of bodily restraint. The performance deteriorated after medial prefrontal ablations, whereas dorsal damage produced no effect. The impairment in this task is unrelated to the delayed response deficit, which has been reported to follow dorsal but not medial lesions. It is suggested that kinesthetic proc...

AbstractThis article aims to describe the use of Reggio Emilia approach in learning based on kinesthetic intelligence. This research is lack a schools so that intelligence stimulation only done with simple activities such as gymnastics. The method used this uses library or data collection techniques sources books, articles and others are inseparable from context core problem. In study, intellig...
