Motor Control and Adaptation

It has been argued that conventional approaches to visual skill training and evaluation have focussed excessively on higher level visual skill impairments, but often fail to target the basic skill impairments that may underlie them. A novel apparatus known as the Dynavision™ may be ugeful for remediating skills according to several key training guidelines that have been proposed. The Dynavision is specifically designed to train and test visuomotor response time and coordination, visual scanning, visual attention, and basic cognitive skills, within a broad visual training environment. This paper describes some of the general features of the apparatus, and reports preliminary but positive findings with one elderly person who has had a cerebrovascular accident.
