Wednesday, October 10, 2018, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM CDT
Category: District Meetings

Rehabilitation professionals have long known that factors such as practice and feedback can impact motor learning in our patients, and that how we manipulate these factors can either facilitate or obstruct motor learning. Likewise, there is fairly widespread understanding of how dynamics such as intensity of practice impact motor learning and neuroplasticity. More recent research has elucidated the influence of psychological contribution to the optimization of motor learning. This course will focus on cognitive, motivational and attentional variables, and how these may be utilized in the traditional motor learning paradigm to improve outcomes in rehabilitation. 2CCUs

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

1.Identify the psychological and/or cognitive variables that impact motor learning, including autonomy support, attentional focus, and expectancies.
2.Examine the active ingredients necessary for effective practice that promotes motor learning and recovery, with focus on the perspectives of cognitive, psychological, and social sciences.
