The effects of practice on the functional anatomy observed in two different tasks, a verbal
and a motor task, are reviewed in this paper. In the first, people practiced a verbal production …

A wave of recent behavioral studies has generated a new wealth of parametric observations
about serial order behavior. What was a trickle of neurophysiological studies has grown to a …

This book presents a review of research on reaction processes and attention as it has
evolved over the last 40 years in the context of the information processing tradition in …

Reaction time (RT) before a motor response has been shown to depend on the duration or
complexity of the response, indicating that responses may be programmed during RT. Some …

An exhaustive review is reported of over 25 years of research with the Discrete Sequence
Production (DSP) task as reported in well over 100 articles. In line with the increasing call for …

This study explored the effects of practice when discrete keypress sequences were
produced in response to a stimulus. Eighteen students practiced 3 sequences with …

It is well known that movement sequences are initiated and executed more slowly as they
become longer. Those effects of sequence length, which have been found to lessen with …

A large number of studies demonstrated the beneficial effects of contextual interference (CI)
created by a random practice of different task variations during training on the retention and …

Individuals with Parkinson's disease have difficulty initiating and performing complex,
sequential movements. Practice generally leads to faster initiation and execution of …
