The perception of speech is notably malleable in adults, yet alterations in perception seem to have little impact on speech production. However, we hypothesized that speech perceptual training might immediately influence speech motor learning. To test this, we paired a speech perceptual-training task with a speech motor-learning task. Subjects performed a series of perceptual tests designed to ...

This study aimed to: i) compare the number of decisions made in official matches between youth academy and professional soccer players ii) quality speed decision-making players. In experiment 1 we assessed 12 (7 5 matches) through notational analysis. 2 138 from (n = 42) 96) levels. The TacticUP® was used to assess game reading skills. Results indicated that make around 56% more than their resp...

Despite the wealth of research on differences between experts and novices with respect to their perceptual-cognitive background (e.g., mental representations, gaze behavior), little is known about the change of these perceptual-cognitive components over the course of motor learning. In the present study, changes in one's mental representation, quiet eye behavior, and outcome performance were ex...

UNLABELLED Numerical typing is an important perceptual-motor task whose performance may vary with different pacing, finger strategies and urgency of situations. Queuing network-model human processor (QN-MHP), a computational architecture, allows performance of perceptual-motor tasks to be modelled mathematically. The current study enhanced QN-MHP with a top-down control mechanism, a close-loop ...

This investigation examined the visuomotor tracking abilities of persons with apraxia of speech (AOS) or conduction aphasia (CA). In addition, tracking performance was correlated with perceptual judgments of speech accuracy. Five individuals with AOS and four with CA served as participants, as well as an equal number of healthy controls matched by age and gender. Participants tracked predictabl...

Traditionally, the lateral premotor cortex (PM) is assigned a role in stimulus-driven rather than memory-driven motor control, whereas the opposite holds for the mesial premotor cortex (supplementary motor area, SMA). Consistently, patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD), in which a specific functional degradation of the mesial loop (i.e., SMA-Striatum) occurs, show impaired memory-driven but re...

INTRODUCTION: Performance data from a visual perception task, complex motor flight task, and psychomotor vigilance task were evaluated in U.S. Air Force Pilots navigating a high-fidelity fixed-wing jet simulator over 26.5 hours of continuous wakefulness. METHODS: Eight military pilots on flight status performed the primary task of flying a simulated 12.5-hour overnight mission in an Air Refueli...

present study seeks to investigate the existing canonical correlation among the effective factors including x variables that consist of environmental factors, inter-organizational factors and the creation factors of the perceptual value; on the components of competitiveness, as well as y variables consisting of enterprise performance against the market, the customers and the internal performanc...
