A look at research investigating the effects of assisted/guided movement on skill acquisition. Can experiencing the movement pattern of an elite athlete facilitate motor learning in a novice? Is it better to use assistance to reduce or augment errors?

Articles/Books:

Can Robots Help the Learning of Skilled Actions? Robot assistance of motor learning: A neuro-cognitive perspective Robotic guidance induces long-lasting changes in the movement pattern of a novel sport-specific motor task No Effect of Assisted Hip Rotation on Bat Velocity Sonification and haptic feedback in addition to visual feedback enhances complex motor task learning The effect of haptic guidance and visual feedback on learning a complex tennis task The effect of assisted jumping on vertical jump height in high-performance volleyball players

A look at how Bernstein's famous phrase "repetition without repetition" revolutionized how we think about motor learning. And an introduction to a few extensions of Bernstein's ideas including coordinative structures and the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis.

Articles/Books:

Dexterity and Its Development

The Bernstein perspective: II. The concept of muscle linkage or coordinative structure The bliss (not the problem) of motor abundance (not redundancy) Stages in Learning Motor Synergies: A View Based on the Equilibrium-Point Hypothesis
