Effect of blocked and random practice schedule variations on acquisition and retention of a pattern drawing task
(1998)The contextual interference (CI) effect refers to the phenomenon that practice organised according to a random schedule appears to negatively affect acquisition, while retention performance is facilitated. Previous ... -
Examining the effects of trial order and conditioning on the covert orienting of visual attention task (COVAT)
(2009)It has recently been reported by Deller (2006) that the mechanisms of early facilitation followed by late inhibition of return (IOR) attenuated upon ANS activation, manipulated through head-down neck flexion (HDNF). The ... -
Get on the good foot : do pedal asymmetries exist in the sprint start response?
(2005)The study of pedal asymmetries examines the differences in reaction time and movement time between the foot/hemisphere systems in humans. Although asymmetries have been examined using pointing movements research has yet ... -
Impact of low frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation on glucose regulation in individuals with type 2 diabetes
(2006)The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on glucose regulation in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Eight individuals with type 2 diabetes between 41 ... -
Iron status and cognitive performance in adolescent females
(2006)Study group from high schools in the Thunder Bay Region (Northwestern Ontario). -
Manipulating the salience of stimulus & response features in the spatial precuing task
(1998)Reeve, Proctor, Weeks and Dornier (1992) demonstrated that the Gestalt grouping principles could be used to influence performance in the four-choice spatial-precuing task by enhancing the organizational features of the ... -
Walk, stop, search : the effect of simulated motion on visual attention
(2006)Responses in covert orienting of visual attention tasks (COVAT) produce a biphasic pattern of results. When the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) is less than 300 ms, reaction times (RTs) to cued targets are faster than ...
