394 A review of “Always Pay Attention to the Which Model of Motor Learning You Are Using?” How can we classify different models of motor learning? Can we ever truly replicate findings in this area?  Download link Articles:Always Pay Attention to Which Model of Motor Learning You Are Using More information:Subscribe in iOS/AppleSubscribe in Android/GoogleMy…

393 How can we reconcile the findings from the large body of research on focus of attention instructions (which has shown a clear benefit for an external focus over an internal one) and the findings from Differential Learning studies (which frequently employ internal instructions)?Download link Articles:External Focus or Differential Learning: Is There an Additive Effect…

387 How do the components of our motor system flexibly reorganize in response to task demands? How do we use information about performance errors (knowledge of results) to search for new organizations? Do these processes involve the use of hard-wired motor programs or softly assembled devices specific to the constraints associated with the individual and…
