Undergraduate Research Assistants and project students
Janet Cybukci
Janet Cybukci
Aug 2006- Janet is using the eye movement system to explore how visual search strategies underlie coordination performance.
Shaun Luttin July 2006- Shaun has been studying how skilled performers in domains such as music chose to schedule their practice environments during the acquisition of new motor skills.
Alison Bowcock July 2005- Alison has been looking at how the content and timing of instructions affect skill acquisition and performance under competitive conditions (using the forehand Frisbee throw).
Julie Moore July 2005- Julie has been collecting data from beginners learning new and difficult coordination movements under various feedback displays which serve to create an incongruence between the actions and the visual feedback in order to facilitate learning.
Andrea Chen Feb 2008- Andrea and Christina are looking at strategies for learning in people with Down Syndrome.
Christina Beck Feb 2008-
Chris Edwards Nov 2006- Chris and Shaun have been studying how skilled performers in domains such as music chose to schedule their practice environments during the acquisition of new motor skills.
