Development of Mechanisms Underlying Human Motor Learning

Award for research on childhood motor learning mechanisms to develop tailored therapeutic strategies using home-based and laboratory methods.

Description

This project aims to understand the mechanisms of human motor learning in children, leveraging innovative experimental methods and laboratory techniques to inform therapeutic strategies. Movement abilities affect a child’s physical, social and emotional well-being, as well as their educational success. The project uses home-based video games and in-person tests to develop a detailed timeline of when different movement learning mechanisms mature and how this process is affected by brain damage, providing the comprehensive understanding required to generate tailored therapeutic training strategies.
