In this paper we present initial information concerning a new direct observation system—the
Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children-Preschool Version. The …

In 2 experiments, the authors studied the effectiveness of physical and observational
practice on learning and the effect on learning of combining physical practice and …

There is evidence indicating that an individual can learn a motor skill by observing a model
practising it. In the present study we wanted to determine whether observation would permit …

Observation of an expert or novice model promotes the learning of a motor skill. In two
experiments, we determined the effects of a mixed observation schedule (a combination of …

Relatively little attention has been given to the use of well-established motor learning
strategies to enable individuals with lower limb loss to effectively and safely learn to walk …

The authors conducted a meta-analysis of the observational modeling literature to quantify
overall between-participants treatment effects obtained when movement behaviors are …

It has been proposed that observation of a model practising a motor skill results in the
observer developing mechanisms for the detection and correction of errors that are similar to …

When we watch other people perform actions, this involves many interacting processes
comprising cognitive, motor, and visual system interactions. These processes change based …

Observation contributes to motor learning. It was recently demonstrated that the observation
of both a novice and an expert model (mixed observation) resulted in better learning of a …

Sleep benefits the consolidation of motor skills learned by physical practice, mainly through
periodic thalamocortical sleep spindle activity. However, motor skills can be learned without …
