Combining physically based simulation and motion capture data for animation is becoming a popular alternative to large motion databases for rich character motion. In this paper, our focus is on adapting motion-captured sequences for character response to external perturbations. Our technique is similar to approaches presented in the literature, but we propose a novel, straightforward way of com...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been studied and clinically applied to restoring or assisting motor functions lost due to spinal cord injury or cerebrovascular disease. Electrical stimulation without control of functional movements is also used for therapy or in rehabilitation training. In recent years, one of the main focuses of FES studies has been its application for rehabilitati...

The present study attempts to uncover language teachers’ beliefs about oral corrective feedback. It also explores the role of teachers’ experiences in their choice of error correction techniques. To achieve the purpose of the study, 137 foreign language teachers were asked to fill out the developed questionnaire and follow-up interviewed were conducted with 10 teachers, five novice and experien...

In sensorimotor adaptation tasks, feedback delays can cause significant reductions in the rate of learning. This constraint is puzzling given that many skilled behaviors have inherently long delays (e.g., hitting a golf ball). One difference in these task domains is that adaptation is primarily driven by error-based feedback, whereas skilled performance may also rely to a large extent on outcom...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of learners’ gender on their preferences for corrective feedback. learners’ prefer- ences which were investigated included the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error treatment. to this end, a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) studying english (efl) at shi...

UNLABELLED When we experience an error during a movement, we update our motor commands to partially correct for this error on the next trial. How does experience of error produce the improvement in the subsequent motor commands? During the course of an erroneous reaching movement, proprioceptive and visual sensory pathways not only sense the error, but also engage feedback mechanisms, resulting...
