Practice

Practice improves daily functioning in humans (p<.001).

“Additionally, significant improvements were observed on the functional test scores (p<.001) from Time 1 to Time 2, especially on the performance-based measures.”

Practice improves cognitive function in humans (p<.001).

“Statistically significant improvements were observed across one week on the neuropsychological test scores (p<.001), especially on the memory tests.”

Practice decreases dual-task costs in humans.

“Extensive practice can significantly reduce dual-task costs (i.e., impaired performance under dual-task conditions compared with single-task conditions) and, thus, improve dual-task performance.”

Practice improves vibrotactile intensity discrimination in humans.

“older adults could improve intensity discrimination over the course of 3 days of practice on that task such that their final performance did not differ significantly from that of younger adults”
