Bio/Research
The research in the Motor Skills Lab is supported by funds from the three Canadian tricouncil funding agencies. Although the mandates of these research councils differ, each of our programs of research are guided primarily by the desire to understand the principles which guide motor learning/skill acquisition. The SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada) funded research has been designed to look at effective instruction, optimal conditions of practice and attainment and maintenance of high performance skill in sport.
For the NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) funded research we have been studying the relationships between observation and action, with a focus on the attainment of coordination skills. We are starting to become more involved in the applications of more basic motor performance and learning research for people with movement disorders (such as Downs Syndrome and stroke), which formed the basis of funding (New Investigator award) from CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research).
