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...

Integration of a tactile display onto the end effector of a robot allows free-hand exploration of an encountered-type environment that provides both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback. A novel tactile display approach, called Haptic Jamming, uses a combination of particle jamming and pneumatics to control the stiffness and shape of a surface. The tactile display mounts to the cable-driven platf...

A method to learn and reproduce robot force interactions in a Human-Robot Interaction setting is proposed. The method allows a robotic manipulator to learn to perform tasks which require exerting forces on external objects by interacting with a human operator in an unstructured environment. This is achieved by learning two aspects of a task: positional and force profiles. The positional profile...

Applying technology in teaching and learning activity must be arranged, vividly combined with the expertise of lecturer/teacher since they have a lot experience conventional ways classroom. It means that one time lecturer lectures online, other is through offline (classroom). This combination can said as blended learning. Theoretically, visual, auditory, kinesthetic are kinds students style. Mo...

The revised Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIQ-R: Hall & Martin, 1997) assesses visual and kinesthetic movement imagery abilities and has become a popular questionnaire in sport and exercise psychology research. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the MIQ-R including internal consistency, stability, factor structure, and gender invariance. There were 325 mal...
