Description
Summary:•Psychomotor performance is explored in terms of selective cortical activation under cognitive and motor-based domains.•The neural efficiency model is evaluated in terms of alpha-wave-based adaptation, in order to characterize fundamental processes underlying efficient psychometric performance.•Detectable task-related modulation is involved in the development of psychomotor performance-based neurocognitive strategies.•Moderating variables impact the practical application of neuropsychological models characterizing expert psychomotor performance. A primary objective of current human neuropsychological performance research is to define the physiological correlates of adaptive knowledge utilization, in order to support the enhanced execution of both simple and complex tasks. Within the present article, electroencephalography-based neurophysiological indices characterizing expert psychomotor performance, will be explored. As a means of characterizing fundamental processes underlying efficient psychometric performance, the neural efficiency model will be evaluated in terms of alpha-wave-based selective cortical processes. Cognitive and motor domains will initially be explored independently, which will act to encapsulate the task-related neuronal adaptive requirements for enhanced psychomotor performance associating with the neural efficiency model. Moderating variables impacting the practical application of such neuropsychological model, will also be investigated. As a result, the aim of this review is to provide insight into detectable task-related modulation involved in developed neurocognitive strategies which support heightened psychomotor performance, for the implementation within practical settings requiring a high degree of expert performance (such as sports or military operational settings).
