Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Honestly? I believe it. I see it in my own kids. The screen temptation is real—for them and for us. Reading has gone down. Outdoor ...

Motor skills are foundational for a lifetime of movement. For children, they play a vital role not only in facilitating physical activity levels but also for cognitive and socio-emotional development ...

Learning a new motor skill entails a complex interplay of neural circuits across cortical and subcortical regions. Early stages of acquisition rely heavily on cognitive control networks in the ...

Parents celebrate when infants reach expected developments in motor skills – use of their hands, crawling, first steps, etc. But a UT Arlington study finds children who meet those standard milestones ...

A recent study by Oregon State University researchers highlighted the ways motor skills and cognitive skills develop in connection with each other in young children with autism, and found an ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...

The energy-in-action that typifies children is a constant source of amazement. The complexity of their movement is evidenced in their physiological and biomechanical properties and their psychosocial ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...
