Age-related decline in anticipatory motor planning and its relation to cognitive and motor skill proficiency

T Stöckel, K Wunsch, CML Hughes - Frontiers in aging Neuroscience, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Anticipatory motor planning abilities mature as children grow older, develop throughout
childhood and are likely to be stable till the late sixties. In the seventh decade of life, motor …

Representation of grasp postures and anticipatory motor planning in children

T Stöckel, CML Hughes, T Schack - Psychological research, 2012 - Springer
In this study, we investigated anticipatory motor planning and the development of cognitive

Too much to handle? Interference from distractors with similar affordances on target selection for handled objects

L Haddad, Y Wamain, S Kalénine - PloS one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
The existence of handle affordances has been classically demonstrated using the Stimulus-
Response Compatibility paradigm, with shorter response times when the orientation of the …

Representation and learning in motor action–bridges between experimental research and cognitive robotics

T Schack, H Ritter - New ideas in psychology, 2013 - Elsevier
To gain a better understanding of the functionality of representation and categorization in
action and interaction, it is fundamental that researchers understand how movements are …

The laterality of stop and go processes of the motor response in left-handed and right-handed individuals

K Hiraoka, K Igawa, M Kashiwagi, C Nakahara… - Laterality, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The objective of the present study was to investigate whether the stop and go processes of
the motor response are asymmetrical and whether the asymmetries are dependent on …

The influence of initial and final precision on motor planning: individual differences in end-state comfort during unimanual grasping and placing

CM Lee Hughes, C Seegelke… - Journal of Motor Behavior, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
People will often grasp an object with an uncomfortable initial grasp if this affords more
comfort at the end of the movement. The authors' primary objective was to examine whether …

Manual asymmetries in the kinematics of a reach-to-grasp action

JW Flindall, JB Doan, CLR Gonzalez - Laterality: Asymmetries of …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis

investigate the possible presence of manual asymmetries in a reach-to-grasp action …

An investigation into manual asymmetries in grasp behavior and kinematics during an object manipulation task

C Seegelke, CML Hughes, T Schack - Experimental Brain Research, 2011 - Springer
Manual asymmetries in the control of movements have been investigated in a variety of
experimental paradigms. Initial studies demonstrated that the dominant right hand has …
