Neural Correlates of Motor Skill Learning Are Dependent on Both Age and Task Difficulty

Neural Correlates of Motor Skill Learning Are Dependent on Both Age and Task Difficulty

Although a general age-related decline in neural plasticity is evident, the effects of age on neural plasticity after motor practice are inconclusive. Inconsistencies in the literature may be related to between-study differences in task difficulty. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effects of age...
