“…As limitations of this study, this experiment was performed with a small number of participants. In addition, the rhythmic movements of the task in this study may influence motor learning of auditory BF earlier than that of visual BF [14].…”

“…On the other hand, brain activation decreased in auditory areas and increased in a broad network response related with auditory and proprioceptive areas during practice sessions with auditory BF. By contrast, Chiou et al [14] compared the learning effects of consecutive visual, discrete visual , and discrete auditory BF for bimanual movements and observed similar learning effects between discrete visual and discrete auditory BF but not consecutive visual BF under the no-feedback condition. However, the perceptual magnitudes of visual and auditory BF were not considered in these two studies.…”

“…Learners can develop an internal movement representation or motor program through a repetitive feedback-based correction process, which then assists them to execute a movement independently [14]. Therefore, the increased dependence on visual information by visual BF may prevent a gradual shift from feedback control to predict internal feedforward control for motor learning [26].…”

Learning effects of dynamic postural control by auditory biofeedback versus visual biofeedback training

Augmented sensory biofeedback (BF) for postural control is widely used to improve postural stability. However, the effective sensory information in BF systems of motor learning for postural control is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning effects of visual versus auditory BF training in dynamic postural control. Eighteen healthy young adults were randomly divided into two groups (visual BF and auditory BF). In test sessions, participants were asked to bring the real-time center of pressure (COP) in line with a hidden target by body sway in the sagittal plane. The target moved in seven cycles of sine curves at 0.23Hz in the vertical direction on a monitor. In training sessions, the visual and auditory BF groups were required to change the magnitude of a visual circle and a sound, respectively, according to the distance between the COP and target in order to reach the target. The perceptual magnitudes of visual and auditory BF were equalized according to Stevens' power law. At the retention test, the auditory but not visual BF group demonstrated decreased postural performance errors in both the spatial and temporal parameters under the no-feedback condition. These findings suggest that visual BF increases the dependence on visual information to control postural performance, while auditory BF may enhance the integration of the proprioceptive sensory system, which contributes to motor learning without BF. These results suggest that auditory BF training improves motor learning of dynamic postural control.

“…In effect, this means that performance in practice (with feedback) and retention (without feedback) is two different tasks and, as such, improved performance in one may not generalise to the other. In contrast, feedback which does not alter the dynamics of the perception–action task at hand produces performance increments which are resistant to the removal of feedback (Chiou and Chang 2016 ; Wilson et al 2010 ). It follows then that effective augmented feedback should not transform the information which is necessary to perceive in a naturalistic performance scenario (i.e., without feedback).…”

Advantages of melodic over rhythmic movement sonification in bimanual motor skill learning

2017

An important question for skill acquisition is whether and how augmented feedback can be designed to improve the learning of complex skills. Auditory information triggered by learners’ actions, movement sonification, can enhance learning of a complex bimanual coordination skill, specifically polyrhythmic bimanual shape tracing. However, it is not clear whether the coordination of polyrhythmic sequenced movements is enhanced by auditory-specified timing information alone or whether more complex sound mappings, such as melodic sonification, are necessary. Furthermore, while short-term retention of bimanual coordination performance has been shown with movement sonification training, longer term retention has yet to be demonstrated. In the present experiment, participants learned to trace a diamond shape with one hand while simultaneously tracing a triangle with the other to produce a sequenced 4:3 polyrhythmic timing pattern. Two groups of participants received real-time auditory feedback during training: melodic sonification (individual movements triggered a separate note of a melody) and rhythmic sonification (each movement triggered a percussive sound), while a third control group received no augmented feedback. Task acquisition and performance in immediate retention were superior in the melodic sonification group as compared to the rhythmic sonification and control group. In a 24-h retention phase, a decline in performance in the melodic sonification group was reversed by brief playback of the target pattern melody. These results show that melodic sonification of movement can provide advantages over augmented feedback which only provides timing information by better structuring the sequencing of timed actions, and also allow recovery of complex target patterns of movement after training. These findings have important implications for understanding the role of augmented perceptual information in skill learning, as well as its application to real-world training or rehabilitation scenarios.

“…Non-symmetric movement can also improve when the positions of the two hands are merged as x and y coordinates of a single cursor feedback, referred to as Lissajous display. For instance, a 90° phase difference of wrist flexion and extension movements with the two hands results in a perfect circle of the display cursor (Chiou & Chang, 2016;Kovacs, Buchanan, & Shea, 2009). These visualizations presumably support motor coordination by making the motor constraints perceptually identifiable or salient (Bingham, 2004).…”

Running title (40 chars of 40 allowed): Development of uni-and bimanual coordination Conflicts of interest: There are no conflicts of interest. ABSTRACTHuman motor control relies on spatial integration of information from multiple sensory modalities.During movement, both vision and proprioception signal posture and location of body parts. Currently, understanding of the developmental trajectory of the interplay between sensory processing and motor control is limited. Most previous studies have either investigated selective age groups, or focused on isolated motor functions.Here, we assessed, within-participant, three functional aspects of visual and proprioceptive integration for motor control across seven experimental tasks in a large cross-sectional sample of 4-12 year-old children: symmetric bimanual coordination, symmetric unimanual coordination with an externally produced signal, and the strategic, selective use of visual information for asymmetric bimanual coordination. All experiments used a hand circling task during which hand position could be available or hidden, allowing direct performance comparison across the entire study.Performance for all investigated functional aspects exhibited protracted development, evident in gradual average improvement over several years of age, albeit with different developmental trajectories for each function. Symmetrical bimanual coordination was efficient already at age 4, both with and without visual hand feedback. Symmetrical unimanual coordination with either a visual or a passive-proprioceptive signal continually improved until age 9. Asymmetric bimanual coordination was ineffective until age 9, and improved until age 12. Critically, performance was related within individuals between symmetric bi-and unimanual coordination, as well as between symmetric unimanual and asymmetric bimanual coordination, suggesting that the development of these motor functions is interdependent and serial.
