Experts act without thinking because their skill is hierarchical. A single conscious thought
automatically produces a series of lower-level actions without top-down monitoring. This …

Theories of skilled performance propose that highly trained skills involve hierarchically
structured control processes. The present study examined and demonstrated hierarchical …

Skill Acquisition and Training describes the building blocks of cognitive, motor, and
teamwork skills, and the factors to take into account in training them. The basic processes of …

Performance errors are associated with robust behavioral and electroencephalography
(EEG) effects. However, there is a debate about the nature of the relationship between these …

We examined how flexibly we plan sequences of actions when we switch between multiple
action sequences. Mastering a sequential skill is assumed to involve integrating successive …

Digitalisation has changed and broadened the ways people write. In higher education,
typing is a common practice both for note-taking and for completing written assignments …

The purpose of this study was to compare performance of children with Developmental
Coordination Disorder (DCD) and typically developing (TD) children in a dual task paradigm …

This study examined the role of external information in monitoring language production. In a
typing-to-dictation task, participants were deprived of all or part of visual feedback. Data …

Fine motor skills like typing involve a mapping problem that trades Fitts' law against Hick's
law. Eight fingers have to be mapped onto 26 keys. Movement time increases with distance …

New theories of monitoring in language production, regardless of their mechanistic
differences, all posit monitoring mechanisms that share general computational principles …
