The 3 × 2 Achievement Goal Model and Motivational Regulations in College Physical Activity Classes Lee, Jihye (2019-01-11)Achievement goal research in physical activity (PA) classes is primarily guided by the dichotomous, trichotomous, and 2 × 2 achievement goal models. However, the utility of the latest 3 × 2 achievement goal model has not ...

Kennedy, Deanna M (2015-08-04)Three experiments were designed to understand the influence of neural crosstalk on bimanual coordination by investigating how and when the forces produced in one limb affect the forces produced in the contralateral limb ...

Lopes Brandao Areosa Rodrigues, Luis Paulo (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)A contemporary view of early childhood motor development considers environmental influences as critical factors in optimal growth and behavior, with the home being the primary agent. However, minimal research exists examining ...
-
Wang, Chaoyi (2016-06-13)Bimanual coordination and unimanual aiming are two of the most studied areas in motor learning and control research. However, these areas of study have been combined in only a few experiments. By manipulating the location ...
-
Yang, Jae Young (2014-08-07)Summer camps have received recent attention as an intervention to increase adolescents’ physical activity. To date, research has rarely focused how a summer camp influences at-risk boys’ motivation and physical activity ...
-
Thigpen, Lydia Kay (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Stretching used as part of a warm up routine for later performance has become not only popular but also recommended by physical educators. Warm up stretches are thought to enhance performance and reduce the incidence of ...

Woods, Rebecca Jindalee (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Recent research suggests that by 4 months of age infants are able to individuate objects using form features, such as shape and size, but surface features, such as pattern and color, are not used until later in the first ...
-
Hirshkowitz, Amy (2014-08-05)Motion-carried information is a salient visual cue used in object perception to parse form in the optical array. The present research examined infants’ ability to extract form shapes in apparent motion stimuli, controlling ...
-
Woods, Rebecca Jindalee (2009-06-02)The ability to individuate objects is one of our most fundamental cognitive capacities. Recent research has revealed that, when objects vary in color or luminance alone, infants fail to individuate until 11.5 months. ...
-
Hirshkowitz, Amy (2012-07-16)Three-dimensional (3D) object perception is critical for comprehending and interacting with the world. It develops during infancy and continues through adulthood. One powerful cue used for object perception is uniform ...
