Caroline Wakefield is hosting the 2024 RIO group conference on 16th-17th May at Liverpool Hope University The abstract submission deadline is Thursday 1st February, and the abstract form can be found here: riogroup.weebly.com/rio-2024.html We are excited to announce our two invited speakers...

If you're publishing research on #mentalpractice (eg using motor imagery / action observation), why not submit your article to our research topic: 'cognitive strategies in motor learning and rehabilitation' tinyurl.com/32hyu9da Frontiers - Neurology please share 😀

Important episode for ambitious golfers… Back in episode 212 of The Sport Psych Show "Exploring the use of Motor Imagery in Sport" I spoke to Dr Matthew Scott Matthew Scott, Prof Paul Holmes & Dr David Wright David Wright. Take a listen here buff.ly/2vkHN6j

Help us learn how observation impacts learning and performance in golf-putting! We are recruiting experienced golfers and people without golf experience for a study at UBC. See pic below for more info. (Note interacting with this post might publicly identify you with the study)

Check out our🔥🔥🔥 new pre-print where we show a dependency of visual and kinesthetic imagery on isolated visual and motor experiences osf.io/preprints/psya… Matthew Scott Sarah Kraeutner, PhD

Two of the world’s leading skill acquisition researchers are Prof Mark Williams and Prof Nikki Hodges. They have just written a paper that neatly summarises five essential action-points coaches must consider when developing players They are here 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Their framework is

Had a great time hosting the Motor Skills Lab from our Vancouver campus this week, where we tested impact of epic views and forest walks on learning. NIMBL UBC Okanagan

Our new paper where we developed and validated a video-based questionnaire assessing combined action observation and motor imagery ability (the AOMI-AQ) is now available (Human Kinetics) doi.org/10.1123/jsep.2… Access the AOMI-AQ for Qualtrics here - osf.io/vbqjw/

Second up at RIO 2024, we have Matthew Scott from Motor Skills Lab presenting a recent study comparing eye movements for visual and kinaesthetic imagery

Happening today at NASPSPA, talks by Journal of Motor Learning & Development Board Members! Nicola Hodges Motor Skills Lab, University of British Columbia Considerations for perceptual training of prediction skills based on evidence for motor simulation Motor Learning and Control Session 5 - Symposium: The Road to Excellence, June 7

🚨 Exciting announcement🚨 We have developed a FREE website containing movement demonstration videos to help children with #dyspraxia / #DCD learn activities of daily living: watchmedoit.mmu.ac.uk We hope it will be a useful resource for children with dyspraxia and families

Our new paper from Motor Skills Lab is available in CORTEX! Here we investigated the experience-driven facilitation of action predictions and effector-specific interference in left-handed individuals Access below 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉 Welcome Nicola Hodges to our Ed Board! Based in the School of Kinesiology, UBC School of Kinesiology 🇨🇦, Nicola is the director of Motor Skills Lab whose work focuses on how and why practice variables (such as instruction, demonstrations, feedback, practice order) impact motor learning & transfer

Interested in doing a PhD in the area of action observation/prediction and motor imagery? Come work with us - NIMBL and Motor Skills Lab! NASPSPA RIO group SCAPPS CAN ACN

Another semi-annual NIMBL & Motor Skills Lab interlab meeting in the books! Always great to host the Hodges crew in Kelowna and can't wait to share what we've been up to @ #SCAPPS2024 FASS UBCO @UBCO_Research

Big congrats to trainee Alisha Davis for her FIRST, first author pub! Here we tested the role of the inferior parietal lobe in motor imagery using 'online' TMS. RIO group FASS UBCO Dept. of Psych OK tinyurl.com/3xxpaesb

It was a pleasure to be a part of this muti-lab, international collaboration investigating the prevelance of Aphantasia (i.e., the absense of visual imagery). See the article link below!

SCAPPS 2024 - good to catch up with colleagues and friends and hear about different approaches to motor imagery research Matthew Scott Tim Welsh Motor Skills Lab Sarah Kraeutner, PhD NIMBL
