BACKGROUND/STUDY CONTEXT: The purpose was to determine if aging interacts with the coding of a simple spatial-temporal movement sequence.
An interlimb practice paradigm (24 participants; 12 young adults [age: 23-29]; 12 old adults [age: 65-78]) was designed to determine the coordinate system (visual-spatial/motor) that is used to code the movement sequence. Practice was scheduled over 2 days involving either the same visual-spatial or the same motor coordinates. On Day 3, two retention tests (Day 1/Day 2) were conducted.
Keeping the motor coordinates the same during acquisition resulted in superior retention only for younger adults.
The data provide strong evidence that the motor code plays a dominant role in acquiring simple movement sequences for younger adults, but not for older adults.
背景/研究背景:目的是确定衰老是否与简单时空运动序列的编码相互作用。
设计了一种肢体间练习范式(24名参与者;12名年轻人[年龄:23 - 29岁];12名老年人[年龄:65 - 78岁])来确定用于编码运动序列的坐标系(视觉空间/运动)。练习安排在2天内进行,涉及相同的视觉空间或相同的运动坐标。在第3天,进行了两次保持测试(第1天/第2天)。
在习得过程中保持运动坐标相同仅对年轻人有更好的保持效果。
数据提供了有力证据,表明运动编码在年轻人获取简单运动序列时起主导作用,但在老年人中并非如此。
