Relative frequency of knowledge of performance and motor skill learningD L Weeks
Department of Physical Therapy, Regis University
Res Q Exerc Sport 69:224-30. 1998..It was concluded that reducing the relative frequency of KP eliminated a dependency on KP to guide performance in acquisition, which was beneficial for maintaining form in conditions in which KP was absent...
The interaction of observational learning with overt practice: effects on motor skill learningD L Weeks
Department of Physical Therapy, Regis University, Denver, CO 80221, USA
Acta Psychol (Amst) 104:259-71. 2000..These findings suggest that several modeling exposures before practice and several more exposures in the early stages of practice were optimal for acquisition and retention of form...
Anticipatory modulation of precision grip force with variations in limb velocity of a curvilinear movementDouglas L Weeks
Department of Physical Therapy, Regis University, 3333 Regis Boulevard, Denver, CO 80221, USA
J Mot Behav 34:59-66. 2002..Those findings suggest that modulation of grip force before initiation of movements in which the hand path is curvilinear may be governed by two distinct velocity-dependent anticipatory strategies...

Department of Physical Therapy, Regis University, Denver, CO 80221, USA
Arch Phys Med Rehabil 84:437-43. 2003..To examine what effect bilateral transfer of movement across limbs may have in a person's ability to learn use of an upper-limb prosthetic simulator...
Interaction between attention demanding motor and cognitive tasks and static postural stabilityD L Weeks
Departmentof Physical Therapy, Regis University, Denver, CO 80221, USA
