This study evaluates motor control and learning by assessing voluntary ankle contractions and adaptive gait responses in participants. These assessments provide insight into motor function, ...

Helping students progress towards their educational goals involves communicating how far they have come and how far they have yet to go. This is the role of assessment. Designing meaningful assessment ...

A new research study examined the results from data generated by citizen scientists using a simple web-based motor test. The big data approach provides researchers with a unique way to explore how ...

Susanne Morton has spent more than two decades studying motor learning. Morton is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy (PT) at the University of Delaware’s College of Health ...

Formative assessments are tools used during instruction to provide real-time feedback, helping both students and educators make immediate improvements. Unlike summative assessments, which evaluate ...

There remains a lack of gold standard tools available to physicians to inform clearance criteria from concussion; a heavy reliance is placed on self-reported symptom scales which have inherent ...

In an August study, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences identified a new distinction between long- and short-term motor memories — a class of memories developed ...

Assessing student learning effectively is often complicated by relying on ambiguous proxies such as grades, quiz scores, or assumptions about students' internal states, such as what they feel, think, ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...
