Effect of sequence length on the execution of familiar keying sequences: lasting segmentation and preparation?Willem B Verwey
Institut fur Arbeitsphysiologie an der Universitat Dortmund, Germany
J Mot Behav 35:343-54. 2003..The data were in line with the notion that coding of longer keying sequences involves motor chunks for the individual sequence segments and information on how those motor chunks are to be concatenated...
Effector-independent and effector-dependent learning in the discrete sequence production taskWillem B Verwey
Institut fur Arbeitsphysiologie an der Universitat Dortmund, Ardeystrasse 67, 44139, Dortmund, Germany
Psychol Res 68:64-70. 2004..In addition, the unpracticed hand configuration performed the practiced sequences faster than the new sequence, which demonstrated the effector-independent component...
Representing serial action and perceptionElger L Abrahamse
Department of Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Psychon Bull Rev 17:603-23. 2010..Moreover, substantiating such an integrative approach is proposed by a synthesis with the dual-system model (Keele, Ivry, Mayr, Hazeltine, & Heuer, 2003)...
Representations underlying skill in the discrete sequence production task: effect of hand used and hand positionElian De Kleine
Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, Faculty of Behavioral Sciences, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Psychol Res 73:685-94. 2009..This produced similar results as in Experiment 1. These experiments support the notion that robustness of sequencing skill is based on several codes, one being a representation that is both effector and position dependent...
Segmentation of short keying sequences does not spontaneously transfer to other sequencesWillem B Verwey
Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, Universiteit Twente, Postbus 217, Enschede 7500 AE, The Netherlands
Hum Mov Sci 28:348-61. 2009..This is more in line with effector-specific learning being a result of sequence learning in terms of a hand-based reference frame than learning to directly trigger particular effectors (i.e., the fingers)...
Motor learning and chunking in dyslexiaElian De Kleine
University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
J Mot Behav 41:331-7. 2009..The authors suggest that the smaller amount of repetitions of the chunks in the 1 x 6 sequence or the increased difficulty of the 1 x 6 sequence led to the slowed execution of the 1 x 6 sequence in participants with dyslexia...
Sensory information in perceptual-motor sequence learning: visual and/or tactile stimuliElger L Abrahamse
Department of Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, Faculty of Behavioral Sciences, University of Twente, 7500 AE Enschede, The Netherlands
Exp Brain Res 197:175-83. 2009....
Diminished motor skill development in elderly: indications for limited motor chunk useWillem B Verwey
Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, Faculty of Behavioral Sciences, University of Twente, 7500 AE Enschede, The Netherlands
Acta Psychol (Amst) 134:206-14. 2010..Still, elderly did show sequence-specific learning with a 6-key sequence that can be explained by an associative learning mechanism...
Visuo-spatial ability in colonoscopy simulator trainingJan Maarten Luursema
Department of Technical Medicine, University of Twente, P O Box 217, 7500 AE, Enschede, The Netherlands
Adv Health Sci Educ Theory Pract 15:685-94. 2010..Long term training studies, as well as studies investigating the nature of visuo-spatial complexity in this domain are needed to better understand the role of visuo-spatial ability in colonoscopy, and other endoscopic techniques...
Asymmetrical learning between a tactile and visual serial RT taskElger L Abrahamse
Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, Faculty of Behavioural Sciences, Universiteit Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 61:210-7. 2008..It is proposed that sequence learning involves a stimulus-specific component in the visual but not in the tactile task...
Nonlinear visuomotor transformations: locus and modularityWillem B Verwey
Faculty of Behavioural Sciences, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 60:1629-59. 2007..Limited awareness of the nonlinear mouse-cursor relationship and the fact that a working-memory task had little effect on performance suggest that the internal model is modular and not dependent on high-level cognitive processes...
Context dependent learning in the serial RT taskElger L Abrahamse
Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics, Faculty of Behavioral Sciences, Universiteit Twente, Postbus 217, 7500 AE, Enschede, The Netherlands
Psychol Res 72:397-404. 2008..It is proposed either that incidental stimulus features are integrated with a global sequence representation, or that the changed context causes participants to strategically inhibit sequence skills...
Effector dependent sequence learning in the serial RT taskWillem B Verwey
Faculty of Behavioral Sciences, University of Twente, PO Box 217, 7500 AE, Enschede, The Netherlands
Psychol Res 69:242-51. 2005..Generally, the same results were found in more or less aware participants, congruent with the idea that the effector-dependent representation and the representation allowing transfer to mirror sequences are implicit...
Processing modes and parallel processors in producing familiar keying sequencesWillem B Verwey
Institut fur Arbeitsphysiologie an der Universitat Dortmund, Ardeystrasse 67, 44139 Dortmund, Germany
Psychol Res 67:106-22. 2003..This suggests that the mechanisms underlying sequencing skills are not automatically activated by mere execution of familiar sequences, and that some form of top-down, intentional control remains necessary...
On the role of the SMA in the discrete sequence production task: a TMS study. Transcranial Magnetic StimulationWillem B Verwey
Institut fur Arbeitsphysiologie an der Universitat Dortmund, Ardeystrasse 67, 44139 Dortmund, Germany
Neuropsychologia 40:1268-76. 2002..Together, these results are in line with the notion that with moderate practice, the SMA executes short sequence fragments that are concatenated by other brain structures...
Comparing endoscopic systems on two simulated tasksWillem B Verwey
Institut fur Arbeitsphysiologie an der Universitat Dortmund, Ardeystrasse 67, 44139 Dortmund, Germany
Ergonomics 48:270-87. 2005..As performance did not fully transfer to differently sized task environments, endoscopists should initially train with task environments of different, and especially small, sizes...
Learning and production of movement sequences: behavioral, neurophysiological, and modeling perspectivesBradley J Rhodes
Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, Boston University, 677 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Hum Mov Sci 23:699-746. 2004..An extended CQ simulation model--the N-STREAMS neural network model--exemplifies ongoing attempts to accommodate a broad range of both behavioral and neurobiological data within a CQ-consistent theory...
Preface to the EWOMS special issue of Human Movement ScienceWillem B Verwey
Hum Mov Sci 26:175-9. 2007

Texas A and M University, College Station 77843-4243, USA
Q J Exp Psychol A 57:935-51. 2004..These data support the contention that contextual information plays a fundamental role in a broad array of movement-planning operations that involve search and retrieval type activity...
