Observational learning is one of the most important learning tools for the education of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The aim of current study was to investigate the effect of two kinds of demonstration, namely video and live modelling on learning of motor skills, in children with ASD. The kinematic motion data of each child were rec...
This study examines the effect of yoga training program (YTP) on the severity of autism in children with High Function Autism (HFA). Twenty-nine children aged 7 to 15 (mean = 11.22, SD = 2.91) years were randomly allocated to either yoga or control group. The participants in the yoga group received an 8-week (24-session) Yoga Training Program (YTP)...
Early diagnosis is appropriate and important for developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. In many less developed countries, unfortunately, diagnosis of this disorder is delayed. The aim of the present study is to determine whether this disorder can be screened using simple strategies such as comparison of the age of acquisition of...
Objectives Balance maintenance is one of the indices of determining independence in older people. Identifying other factors that have considerable impact on the independence of older peoples is an interesting research topic. The present study aims at determining the effect of Neurofeedback and Mental Motor Imagery practices on balance in the elderl...
The purpose of this study was to survey the weight status of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in Iranian pupils and further to investigate the most likely associated factors such as demographics, autism severity and medications. The survey was designed to provide a random sample of 113 children and adolescents (boys =...
Nowadays, advertising is regarded as one of the vital elements of marketing tools’ promotional strategies. Therefore, advertising is very important to businesses’ marketing strategies and policies. In light of this, the purpose of the current study was to ascertain the influence of endorsers’ gender and the level of attention given to various aspec...
Nowadays, advertisement is known as one of the essential promotional components of marketing tools. Hence, advertisement plays a crucial role in companies’ marketing strategies and policies. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the role of endorsers and their gender on the amount of attention paid to the elements in advertisements. The...
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have limitations in their attention and working memory that affect their motor learning. The aim of current study was to compare point-light display (PLD) to video observation as instructional models for teaching motor skills to children with ASD versus typically developing (TD) children. We randomly assig...
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties recognizing and understanding others’ actions. The goal of the present study was to determine whether children with and without ASD show differences in the way they process stimuli depicting Biological Motion (BM). Thirty‐two children aged 7–16 (16 ASD and 16 typically developing (TD...
Previous studies have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) can facilitate the consolidation of motor skills in people who are typically developed, especially when tDCS is combined with goal-oriented exercises. Yet, the effect of tDCS on the motor skills of children with autism spectrum disorde...
Background
There have been some controversies over the ability of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to perceive biological motion. In this study, we used electroencephalography and behavioural measures (recognition test) to examine whether or not children with ASD can correctly identify biological motion.
Method
Twenty participants w...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of skill types (open and closed) and competition level (elite and non-elite) on the functions of observational learning in athletes. To fulfill the objectives of the study, 247 Taekwondo athletes volunteered to answer the Functions of Observational Learning Questionnaire (FOLQ). Results of...
From long ago, and for many centuries, Iran has always known to have brave men and brave war heroes. Several thousand years of history in this country associated with athletics (Champions), in the mythology of our culture, the heroes are well-known and distinctive and the most important positions of the history are depicted by these Champions. They...
The purpose of this study was to compare selected mental skills in elite and non-elite Taekwondo athletes. 88 male and 54 female Taekwondo athletes (elite=60, non-elite=82) answered to the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tools version 3. This questionnaire assesses three categories of mental skills; 1) Foundation skills 2) Psycho-somatic skills and...
The purpose of this study was to compare selected mental skills in elite and non-elite Taekwondo athletes. 143 Taekwondo athletes (elite=61, non-elite=82) answered to the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tools version 3. This questionnaire assesses three categories of mental skills; 1) Foundation skills 2) Psycho-somatic skills and 3) Cognitive skil...

As we know, mirror neuron system (MNS) has important role on our observational motor learning, and suppression of alpha mu rhythm (8-12 Hz) on C3 and C4 sites is a sign of participation of MNS in action perception and imitation. Have you studied any research about effect of motor learning on changes of brain waves? Please share your knowledge with us ;)

Does ecological approach believe on memory or prior experience?
Indeed I need some literature about the role of LTD and LTP on motor cortex, sensory-motor cortex and cerebellum.

We used EEG, eye-tracking and behavioural measures to investigate biological motion perception in children with and without autism.
The aim of current study is to investigate effects of Video and Live modeling on learning a motor skill.
