In this article it is argued that handwriting basically is a multi-component task. This implies
that the production of writing strokes is the overt manifestation of divergent cognitive …

Fast and accurate visual recognition of single characters is crucial for efficient reading. We
explored the possible contribution of writing memory to character recognition processes. We …

Recent data support the idea that movements play a crucial role in letter representation and
suggest that handwriting knowledge contributes to visual recognition of letters. If so, using …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews some of the experimental and theoretical research
in the field of handwriting, where an increased activity has been displayed over the past two …

This is a substantial revision of an innovative textbook designed for undergraduate courses
in cognitive psychology. It approaches cognitive psychology by asking what it says about …

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit impairments in the execution of highly
practiced and skilled motor actions such as handwriting. The analysis of kinematic aspects …

Strategies used by the CNS to optimize arm movements in terms of speed, accuracy, and
resistance to fatigue remain largely unknown. A hypothesis is studied that the CNS exploits …

This study aims to test the hypothesis that handwriting is governed by the dynamics of non-
linear coupled oscillators. Accordingly, its first goal is to identify preferred, basic graphic …

When users reach their arms to different locations in physical space, they often adapt how
they move (ie, kinematic properties of their reaches) depending on the:(1) direction they …

The aim of our study was to investigate possible relationships between writing and drawing
performance of school-aged children, in order to compare the two skills at the within …
