C-24 Increased Reliance on Executive Functioning during Motor Sequencing in Older Adults

Objective: Past research suggests that motor sequencing becomes more heavily reliant on executive functioning (EF) with increasing age. This study examined whether this relationship holds for all, or only some, aspects of motor sequencing performance, including motor-planning (MP), motor-learning (M...

Description
Summary:Objective: Past research suggests that motor sequencing becomes more heavily reliant on executive functioning (EF) with increasing age. This study examined whether this relationship holds for all, or only some, aspects of motor sequencing performance, including motor-planning (MP), motor-learning (ML), and motor-control speed and accuracy (MC-Speed; MC-Accuracy). Method: 57 young (18 to 49 years) and ...
