The effects of practice and delay on motor skill learning and retention

Author(s): Savion-Lemieux T; Penhune VB;

The present study assessed the effects of amount of practice and length of delay on the learning and retention of a timed motor sequence task. Participants learned to reproduce ten-element visual sequences by tapping in synchrony with the stimulus. Particip...

Developmental contributions to motor sequence learning

Author(s): Savion-Lemieux T; Bailey JA; Penhune VB;

Little is known about how children acquire new motor sequences. In particular, it is not clear if the same learning progression observed in adults is also present in childhood nor whether motor skills are acquired in a similar fashion across development. In...

The effect of practice pattern on the acquisition, consolidation, and transfer of visual-motor sequences

Author(s): Savion-Lemieux T; Penhune VB;

The contextual interference hypothesis proposes that when learning multiple skills, massing practice leads to better within-day acquisition, whereas random practice leads to better retention and transfer. In this experiment, we examined the effect of practi...
