Abstract

Gross-motor sequence learning is fundamental for performing daily activities and maintaining independence across the lifespan. This study investigated how age and age simulation affect gross-motor sequence learning, focusing on acquisition, execution performance, explicit recall, and retention performance. We tested 74 participants belonging to five groups: young adults aged 18-27 years without (

Research summary

The paper claims that age and age simulation influence gross-motor sequence learning abilities. This research is relevant as it explores how aging affects fundamental motor skills, which are crucial for maintaining independence and quality of life in older adults.
