Cortical cell assemblies: a possible mechanism for motor programs

J Wickens, B Hyland, G Anson - Journal of Motor Behavior, 1994 - Taylor & Francis
The concept of a motor program has been used to interpret a diverse range of empirical
findings related to preparation and initiation of voluntary movement. In the absence of an …

Information processing and constraints-based views of skill acquisition: divergent or complementary?

G Anson, D Elliott, K Davids - Motor control, 2005 - journals.humankinetics.com
Since the middle of the nineteenth century, movement scientists have been challenged to
explain processes underlying the control, coordination, and acquisition of skill. Information …

Conscious motor processing and the pressure-performance relationship: a systematic review

R Sullivan, L Uiga, RSW Masters, G Anson… - … Review of Sport and …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
This systematic review examined evidence for the role of conscious motor processing in the
pressure-performance relationship and, specifically, whether pressure-induced changes in …

What are “normal movements” in atypical populations?

ML Latash, JG Anson - Behavioral and brain sciences, 1996 - cambridge.org
Redundancy of the motor control system is an important feature that gives the central control
structures options for solving everyday motor problems. The choice of particular control …

Synergies in health and disease: relations to adaptive changes in motor coordination

ML Latash, JG Anson - Physical therapy, 2006 - academic.oup.com
This article describes an approach to motor synergies that allows them to be quantified in
people with atypical movement patterns during exercise or practice. Within this approach, …

Effects of arm weight support on neuromuscular activation during reaching in chronic stroke patients

…, P Ortega-Auriol, AJC McMorland, G Anson… - Experimental brain …, 2019 - Springer
To better understand how arm weight support (WS) can be used to alleviate upper limb
impairment after stroke, we investigated the effects of WS on muscle activity, muscle synergy …

Current status of the motor program: Revisited

JJ Summers, JG Anson - Human Movement Science, 2009 - Elsevier
The motor program is a concept that has had a major influence on theorizing in the field of
motor control. However, there has been a lack of consensus as to what exactly is a motor …

The influence of advance information about target location and visual feedback on movement planning and execution.

S Hansen, CM Glazebrook, JG Anson… - Canadian Journal of …, 2006 - psycnet.apa.org
Cette étude a été conçue pour déterminer si les stratégies de planification du mouvement
intégrant l'utilisation de la rétroaction visuelle au cours d'un ciblage manuel sont particulières …

Partial weight support differentially affects corticomotor excitability across muscles of the upper limb

KD Runnalls, G Anson, SL Wolf… - Physiological …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Partial weight support may hold promise as a therapeutic adjuvant during rehabilitation after
stroke by providing a permissive environment for reducing the expression of abnormal …

Memory drum theory: Alternative tests and explanations for the complexity effects on simple reaction time

J Greg Anson - Journal of motor behavior, 1982 - Taylor & Francis
Two experiments investigated the memory drum theory’s prediction (Henry & Rogers, 1960)
that simple reaction time (SRT) increased with the complexity of the response to be initiated. …
