“…The coincident timing task was based on the Bassin Anticipation Timer [7, 15–21] and consisted of a task used worldwide by many authors (see Chiviacowsky et al [3]; de Mello Monteiro et al [14]; Corrêa et al [18]) aiming to assess and verify motor learning considering the performance obtained by decreasing the errors, or the variability of errors.…”

BackgroundDown syndrome (DS) has unique physical, motor and cognitive characteristics. Despite cognitive and motor difficulties, there is a possibility of intervention based on the knowledge of motor learning. However, it is important to study the motor learning process in individuals with DS during a virtual reality task to justify the use of virtual reality to organize intervention programs. The aim of this study was to analyze the motor learning process in individuals with DS during a virtual reality task.MethodsA total of 40 individuals participated in this study, 20 of whom had DS (24 males and 8 females, mean age of 19 years, ranging between 14 and 30 yrs.) and 20 typically developing individuals (TD) who were matched by age and gender to the individuals with DS. To examine this issue, we used software that uses 3D images and reproduced a coincidence-timing task.ResultsThe results showed that all individuals improved performance in the virtual task, but the individuals with DS that started the task with worse performance showed higher difference from the beginning. Besides that, they were able to retain and transfer the performance with increase of speed of the task.ConclusionIndividuals with DS are able to learn movements from virtual tasks, even though the movement time was higher compared to the TD individuals. The results showed that individuals with DS who started with low performance improved coincidence- timing task with virtual objects, but were less accurate than typically developing individuals.Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02719600.

“…The current study investigated motor performance on two coincidence timing tasks in individuals with CP. The tasks were performed in a tangible, natural environment (i.e., not unlike the Bassin Anticipation Timer is normally used, see Shea & Ashby, 1981) and a more abstract virtual environment. Of special interest were performance and learning differences between tasks, and transfer of learning across environments.…”

“…Using the dedicated software, it was determined whether or not the participant's hand occluded the marker, which was then fed back to the virtual environment. The coincident timing task was based on the Bassin Anticipation Timer (Shea & Ashby, 1981;Overdorf, Page, Schweighardt & McGrath, 2004;Harrold & Kozar, 2002;Corrêa et al, 2005;Santos, Corrêa & Freudenheim, 2003;Williams, 1985;Williams, Jasiewicz & Simmons, 2001). To this end, 10 3D-cubes were displayed simultaneously in a vertical column on a monitor.…”

With the growing accessibility of computer-assisted technology, rehabilitation programs for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) increasingly use virtual reality environments to enhance motor practice. Thus, it is important to examine whether performance improvements in the virtual environment generalize to the natural environment. To examine this issue, we had 64 individuals, 32 of which were individuals with CP and 32 typically developing individuals, practice two coincidence-timing tasks. In the more tangible button-press task, the individuals were required to 'intercept' a falling virtual object at the moment it reached the interception point by pressing a key. In the more abstract, less tangible task, they were instructed to 'intercept' the virtual object by making a hand movement in a virtual environment. The results showed that individuals with CP timed less accurate than typically developing individuals, especially for the more abstract task in the virtual environment. The individuals with CP did-as did their typically developing peers-improve coincidence timing with practice on both tasks. Importantly, however, these improvements were specific to the practice environment, there was no transfer of learning. It is concluded that the implementation of virtual environments for motor rehabilitation in individuals with CP should not be taken for granted but needs to be considered carefully.

“…O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta da utilização de realidade virtual (RV) para avaliar o desempenho e aprendizagem motora de pessoas com Paralisia Cerebral. As tarefas foram realizadas em ambientes virtuais com e sem contato físico por meio da utilização de tarefa desenvolvida baseada no Bassin antecipatory timing ASHBY, 1981). De especial interesse foram as diferenças de desempenho entre tarefas e a transferência de aprendizagem entre ambientes.…”
