this study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. in two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. in experiment i, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of contextual interference on balance of mentally retarded people. for this purpose, 40 educable and mentally retarded boys in qazvin city (mean age 24.45 ± 3.120) were randomly divided into two groups: blocked and random practice. after the pretest, given their practice arrangement, subjects in each group performed their workout for 4 ...

Most distributional models of word similarity represent a word type by a single vector of contextual features, even though, words commonly have more than one sense. The multiple senses can be captured by employing several vectors per word in a multi-prototype distributional model, prototypes that can be obtained by first constructing all the context vectors for the word and then clustering simi...

Objective(s): Behavioral and neuroimaging studies have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation, as a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, beyond regional effects can modify functionally interconnected remote cortical and subcortical areas. In this study, we hypothesized that the induced changes in cortical excitability following the application of cathodal or anodal tDCS over the ...

Background. Although some research showed the benefits of a systematic increase in contextual interference (CI), it is not completely proved in young children and novices. Objectives. On the other hand, considering the recommendation of researchers about the advantages and the use of the mental practice, the aim of the present study was to combine mental practice with CI to improve motor perfo...

Background: In order to assign appropriate planning target volume (PTV) margins, each centre should measure the patient positioning deviations for their set-up techniques. At the Royal Marsden Hospital, UK, a conformal shell (cast) system is used when a stereotactic frame is not suitable. In this paper, we report on a series of measurements with the aim of obtaining the systematic and random ...
