Previous studies have investigated perceptual information, like the moment of inertia, specifying such object properties by wielding with one hand. The current study extends this work by investigating how blindfolded participants bimanually heft and wield objects to perceive the weight or length. Participants were presented with rods, with weights attached either symmetrically on both sides of the center, or asymmetrically. The magnitude of weights attached and their position on the rod were also manipulated. Blindfolded participants were asked to either judge the weight or length of a set of rods, after they actively wielded each rod. Participants' muscle activity and exploratory movements were tracked. We investigated whether the temporal pattern of movements and muscle activity differed, depending on their intention to perceive rod weight or length. As expected, participants wielded the rods differently, depending on whether they were judging the weight or length. Additionally, weight distribution, the magnitude, and the position on the rod where the weights were attached, affected perceived heaviness. Surprisingly, none of these factors affected the perceived length of the rod, indicating the availability of perceptual information other than the moment of inertia.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"432-454"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148018675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Balance asymmetries between the legs are expected to increase with task demands, being evident in complex motor tasks. In this study, we tested two hypotheses: (1) whether task complexity increases asymmetries in a single-leg balance task, and (2) whether general and specific foot preferences are correlated with performance asymmetries. Twenty-seven right-footed young adults participated by performing two tasks: (1) SLB on a stable surface (SB); and (2) SLB on an unstable surface in the anteroposterior axis (UB). Stability was provided by placing the pressure plate on the floor or on an unstable platform with a hemi-cylinder-shaped support base. Balance performance measurements were obtained through center of pressure displacement and area. Task complexity affected asymmetry direction, showing better performance with the left leg in the UB. The magnitude of asymmetries did not increase between tasks. No correlations were found between preference and performance, with preference matching the side of better performance in only ≅ 50% of the participants. These findings show that more complex motor tasks are necessary for the potential advantages of hemispheric specificity related to motor control balance mechanisms to be manifested.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"266-276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147379181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When presented with challenging tasks, participants may control task difficulty by deviating from mandated instructions to allow success within a self-selected bandwidth. To investigate the levels of task difficulty at which such deviations may occur, the current study used an on-screen target interception task which gradually increased in difficulty by lowering the size of the intercepting racquet. Measures of intrinsic motivation and cognitive effort were collected to examine the underlying psychological factors. Increases in difficulty provoked a tactical approach from participants where they did not attempt to intercept all targets as instructed. This behaviour was not disclosed when participants were given the opportunity to do so; potential reasons for this are discussed. Increases in task difficulty saw a lowering of intrinsic motivation, but a concurrent rise in cognitive effort, suggesting that task engagement was high despite lowering intrinsic motivation. The results demonstrate that expected experimental results are not necessarily arrived at by the expected means, and that methods of measurement and analysis should account for actual participant behaviour rather than that which is instructed, presumed, or predicted by whichever model or theory is under scrutiny.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"612-625"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148674558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzed the effect of impulsivity on motor control and cognitive effort during manual aiming tasks that varied in cognitive load. From an initial sample of 109 volunteers, a final sample of 63 right-handed adults was classified as high or low impulsive based on Brazilian Portuguese version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 scores. Participants performed two aiming task conditions with different execution demands, while electroencephalographic workload and engagement indices were recorded to assess cognitive effort. Motor performance was evaluated through accuracy, temporal, kinematic, and inhibitory control measures. Results showed similar motor performance and kinematic patterns between groups. However, the high impulsive group consistently exhibited higher workload indices across both task conditions and made more response inhibition errors under high execution demand. These findings suggest that highly impulsive individuals mobilize greater cognitive resources to sustain motor performance comparable to that of less impulsive individuals. This compensatory increase in effort highlights the interaction between personality traits, cognitive control, and motor behavior.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"663-678"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148901464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated how response mode-unimanual finger presses versus coordinated two-handed stick use-affects cognitive performance in the Simon task, a classic measure of inhibitory control. Thirty-two participants completed the task by responding to the color of a stimulus while ignoring its spatial location, using both response modes in separate blocks. Analyses of reaction time and accuracy as a function of stimulus location (left, right) and response side (left, right) identified four distinct Simon effects and their corresponding conflict adaptation patterns across response modes. While the magnitude of the Simon effect was larger during stick use, sequential conflict adaptation-reflected in reduced interference following incongruent trials-was more pronounced for finger responses. No reliable practice-related changes in the Simon effect were observed across blocks for either effector. Delta plot analyses further revealed effector-specific differences in the temporal dynamics of spatial conflict across the RT distribution. By comparing unimanual and bimanual response modes across multiple interference types, this study highlights distinct contributions of motor implementation to cognitive control and supports the value of more ecologically valid action-based paradigms.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"647-662"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few have investigated its instructional effect on improving movement form. This study compared the motor learning effects of different attentional foci for promoting proper movement form. Thirty healthy young adults were randomly assigned to three groups: internal focus (IFA), external focus (EFA), and control. Participants performed a kneeling forward-reaching task, requiring them to maintain balance while reaching forward with both arms. Performance was evaluated by horizontal reach distance (from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the fingertip) and joint angles (shoulder, hip, and knee). The IFA group received cues to focus on body posture (e.g., \"align arms with ears\"), the EFA group on the target bar's position (e.g., \"reach past the bar\"), and the control group received no specific instruction. Compared to the EFA group, the IFA group demonstrated greater improvements in reach distance and form from the early acquisition phase, indicating superior motor learning. These results suggest that IFA-based verbal cues are effective when movement form is essential. Instructional strategies should be tailored to the demands of the task and attentional focus.

They performed normal and maximum gait tests under two conditions: eyes open and eyes closed. The gait performance evaluation parameters were gait speed, stride, step length, cadence, stance phase, swing phase, double support phase and single support phase. The results of Bayesian mixed-effects model analysis showed that visual condition (eyes open) had a positive effect on many parameters during normal gait speed; however, this effect tended to decrease during maximum gait speed. There were no clear effects for leg dominance or its interaction with visual information. These results suggest that visual information plays an important role in gait control and that its effect depends on the gait speed. Therefore, gait evaluation based on differences in gait speed and sensory integration modalities might be useful in understanding the diversity of gait control mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"155-163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146120916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently concussed individuals underwent computerized cognition testing and a robotic test of sensorimotor adaptation as soon as possible after injury, on return to activity, and after three months. Control subjects were tested at similar intervals. During robotic testing, subjects moved a robot handle repeatedly between two targets; the handle resisted movement with spring-like forces that changed unpredictably between trials, allowing us to model how performance memories contribute to trial-by-trial adaptation. Because symptom severity varied markedly at Session 1, we bisected the concussed cohort based on initial reaction time. Although Session 1 data revealed abnormally high limb compliance estimates in more severely concussed individuals relative to controls, we did not find group differences in how memories contribute to adaptation in any session. However, control group models revealed a practice effect affecting memory model coefficients; this may have masked concussion's initial effects on how memories contribute to adaptation. Although a practice effect and a heterogeneous concussed cohort preclude strong conclusions, our study demonstrates feasibility of the robotic assessment and indicates procedural improvements that may increase its sensitivity and specificity to concussion-related changes in how memories contribute to adaptation.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"361-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147823031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were presented with 2 target-penalty configurations in which a target circle was partially overlapped by an equivalently-sized penalty circle. Configurations varied in the value of the penalty region and the amount of overlap (a spatial property related to the probability of the actor contacting the target and/or penalty regions) such that the configurations could have similar or different MEGs. Participants imagined sequentially performing aiming movements to both configurations, one after another, and indicated which of the two configurations they imagined aiming to first. Whenever the MEGs of the two options differed, most participants indicated that they would aim to the configuration with the higher MEG first more often than aiming to the configuration with the lower MEG first. When configurations had similar MEGs, most participants indicated that they would move first to the configuration with a larger exposed target region (greater probability of success) and higher penalty value, though some individual differences in strategies were noted. Overall, the data suggest that when presented with a sequential task, participants choose to perform the task with a higher potential gain before the task with the lower potential gain.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"481-491"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148139706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
