Elderly adults often exhibit performance deficits during goal-directed movements of the dominant arm compared with young adults. Recent studies involving hemispheric lateralization have provided evidence that the dominant and non-dominant hemisphere-arm systems are specialized for controlling different movement parameters and that hemispheric specialization may be reduced during normal aging. The purpose was to examine age-related differences in the movement structure for the dominant (right) and non-dominant (left) during goal-directed movements. Young and elderly adults performed 72 aiming movements as fast and as accurately as possible to visual targets with both arms. The findings suggest that previous research utilizing the dominant arm can be generalized to the non-dominant arm because performance was similar for the two arms. However, as expected, the elderly adults showed shorter relative primary submovement lengths and longer relative primary submovement durations, reaction times, movement durations, and normalized jerk scores compared to the young adults. 相似文献

The retention of discrete movements was examined under augmented and minimal feedback conditions. The augmented condition was presented for both the criterion and recall movements and consisted of providing visual, auditory, and heightened proprioceptive cues with each movement. Under minimal conditions, no visual, auditory or heightened proprioceptive cues were provided. Absolute and constant error revealed that under augmented conditions recall accuracy was improved. The retention interval x feedback condition interaction failed significance for both sources of error indicating that there was no evidence of differential decay rates. Variable error appeared to be an informative index of forgetting. The results were interpreted to be in support of the view that a memory trace is imprinted with feedback from all modalities and that the amount of such feedback determines memory trace strength. 相似文献

Testing the hypothesis that spatial localization can be based on an abstracted spatial location code, rather than on stored proprioceptive information, orientation of an unseen limb was contrasted under intra- and interlimb-movement conditions. In Experiment 1, movements were executed in the midline either vertically upward or horizontally forward in the sagittal plane. These results revealed that intralimb errors were smaller than interlimb errors only at the most distant criterion spatial targets, and it was hypothesized that positioning of a limb could be mediated by a spatial location code if spatial targets were coded in association with body reference points. Experiment 2 tested the egocentric referent hypothesis further by manipulating the availability of body-based spatial reference points under intra- and interlimb conditions. At spatial targets that could be coded in conjunction with body reference points, no difference was found between intra- and interlimb accuracy. In contrast, at spatial targets where body reference points were absent, or at least made difficult to rely on, accuracy was greater in the intralimb condition. It was concluded that spatial reference points, in this instance body-based, are necessary if the spatial positioning of a limb is to be based on the spatial location code. The data were also discussed within a more comprehensive framework of spatial frames of reference. 相似文献

An experiment was designed to test whether or not Parkinson's disease (PD) patients were able to maintain endpoint kinematic patterns in a prehension task involving movement of the torso. Nine PD patients and nine healthy controls were asked to reach for and grasp a full cup of water that was either covered or uncovered and placed beyond the reach of the outstretched arm. An OPTOTRAK (Northern Digital) 3-dimensional motion analysis system was used to capture the movement of four markers placed on the arm, hand, and torso. The results indicated the Parkinson's patients had a decreased ability to maintain the kinematics of the end effector. The PD patients were also found to be impaired in terms of their ability to synchronize the arm, hand, and torso. More specifically, although the elderly controls seemed to employ a strategy of increasing the involvement of the torso when reaching to grasp the uncovered cup, no such strategy was observed in the PD patients. Collectively, the results suggest that the multi-joint synergies observed in the elderly controls, which help preserve relatively consistent endpoint trajectories, are disrupted in Parkinson's patients. 相似文献

Stationary objects in a stereogram can appear to move when viewed with lateral head movements. This illusory motion can be explained by the motion-distance invariance hypothesis, which states that illusory motion covaries with perceived depth in accordance with the geometric relationship between the position of the stereo stimuli and the head. We examined two predictions based on the hypothesis. In Experiment 1, illusory motion was studied while varying the magnitude of binocular disparity and the magnitude of lateral head movement, holding viewing distance constant. In Experiment 2, illusory motion was studied while varying binocular disparity and viewing distance, holding magnitude of head movement constant. Ancillary measures of perceived depth, perceived viewing distance, and perceived magnitude of lateral head movement were also obtained. The results from the two experiments show that the extent of illusory motion varies as a function of perceived depth, supporting the motion-distance invariance hypothesis. The results also show that the extent of illusory motion is close to that predicted from the geometry in crossed disparity conditions, whereas it is greater than the predicted motion in uncrossed disparity conditions. Furthermore, predictions based on perceptual variables were no more accurate than predictions based on geometry. 相似文献

Error-detection and error-correction experiments were conducted to examine the assumption that organizational processes play an important role in motor learning and control. During the initial phase of each experiment, the sensory aspects of five movements were held constant while the organizational structure (sequential vs. random) of the movements was varied. In the learning phase of both experiments, the effect of organization produced increased reproduction accuracy for the structured movement sequences compared to those that were random. This benefit of organization carried over into the error detection and correction parts of the experiments where it was shown that improved error detection and correction capabilities were assisted by the manner in which the movements were presented. The importance of cognitive processes is discussed in terms of past and contemporary accounts of motor learning and control. 相似文献
