Rapid responsiveness to practice predicts longer-term retention of upper extremity motor skill in non-demented older adults
Skill acquisition is a form of motor learning that may provide key insights into the aging brain. Although previous work suggests that older adults learn novel motor tasks slower and to a lesser extent than younger adults, we have recently demonstrated no significant effect of chronological age on t...
