Two processes are suggested for intervention in the learning of motor skills. These include explicit process in which the performer consciously knows the acquisition of the skill and the other one is an implicit process in which the performer has no conscious knowledge of acquiring the skill. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of explicit and implicit instructions and sleep on the performance of the fine motor skill. Participants in this study included 30 right-handed volunteer students with a good sleep quality, aged between 18-25 years old. They were randomly divided into two homogeneous explicit (N = 15) and implicit (N = 15) groups based on Purdue Fine Motor Skill Test and Simple Reaction Time. Each group participated in a three-time round at six in the afternoon, 12 midday on the same day, and at eight o'clock next morning in a Timed Motor Sequences Task. The data was analyzed by ANOVA with repeated measures. The results showed that in the accuracy of the short elements, stabilization was done but promotion was not observed but there was no change in the accuracy of the long elements and there was no significant difference between groups.

Abstract This innovative study trying to do interdisciplinary interface at first view different ways fields: kinantropology and mechanical engineering. A motor skill is described as an action which involves the movement of muscles in a body. Gross motor skills permit functions as a running, jumping, walking, punching, lifting and throwing a ball, maintaining a body balance, coordinating etc. Fine motor skills captures smaller neuromuscular actions, such as holding an object between the thumb and a finger. In mechanical inspection, the accuracy of measurement is most important aspect. The accuracy of measurement to some extent is also dependent upon the sense of sight or sense of touch associated with fine motor skills. It is therefore clear that the level of motor skills will affect the precision and accuracy of measurement in metrology. Aim of this study is literature review to find out fine motor skills level of individuals and determine the potential effect of different fine motor skill performance on precision and accuracy of mechanical engineering measuring.

Introduction. Restorative dental treatment is a complex task involving various procedures which require the development and integration of both theoretical knowledge and fine motor skills. It aims to provide the theoretical background and role of key factors in learning these skills. Materials and Methods. The following electronic databases were searched to identify relevant articles to our topic: PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Generic keywords, that is, factors, fine, performance, and dentistry, and MeSH terms, that is, “learning,” “instruction,” “patient simulation,” “motor skills,” “perception,” “tactile,” “neurophysiology,” and “working memory” were used to conduct our comprehensive search. Results and Conclusions. Several techniques are used in performing different restorative procedures in dentistry, that is, root canal preparation, root planning, and minor oral surgery procedures. Mastering these techniques requires a good understanding of the underpinning cognitive, sensory, and neuromuscular processes. Factors including the amount and timing of instructions provided, cognitive abilities, and practice schedule of learning trials may have significant implications on the design of fine motor skill learning exercises.

Fine Motor Performance

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of three levels of work intensity on the performance of a fine motor skill during steady-state exercise. Subjects were administered a progressive bicycle ergometer test to exhaustion in order to determine maximum heart rate (HRmax). Following practice sessions on the pursuit rotor, subjects performed 3 different rides on a bicycle ergometer at 60, 75, and 90% of HRmax. The order of test administration was varied randomly in an attempt to control for sequential effects. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to determine differences in pursuit rotor performance by days and by levels of work intensity. No confounding of learning was noted. A significant F ratio ( p < .001) between work intensities showed that fine motor performance during steady-state exercise is affected by levels of work intensity.

Undergraduate Study

Learning dental procedures is a complex task involving the development of fine motor skills. The reported use of theories and/ or evidence for designing learning activities to develop the fine motor skills needed for dental practice is limited. The aim of this review is to explore the available body of knowledge related to learning fine motor skills in dentistry. Evidence from studies investigating motor skill learning highlights the negative impact of self-focus and self-regulation on learning outcomes, particularly during the early stages of learning. The development of activities and schedules that enable novices to demonstrate characteristics similar to experts, without the reported long period of &lsquo;deliberate practice&rsquo;, is clearly of value. Outcomes of learning implicitly are important in dentistry because working under stressful conditions is common, either during undergraduate study or in practice. It is suggested that learning implicitly in the simulation stage can reduce disrupted performance when transitioning to clinical settings. Therefore, further investigation of effective methods for learning dental fine motor skills is indicated, using approaches that result in robust performance, even under stressful conditions.

BACKGROUND Five to ten percent of elementary school children show delayed development of fine motor skills. To address these problems, detection is required. Current assessment tools are time-consuming, require a trained supervisor and are not motivating for children. Sensor augmented toys and machine learning have been presented as possible solutions. OBJECTIVE This study examines whether sensor augmented toys can be used to assess children’s fine motor skills. The objectives were to 1) predict the outcome of the fine motor skill part of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (fine MABC) and 2) to study the influence of the classification model, game, type of data, and level of difficulty of the game on the prediction. METHODS Children in elementary school (n=97, age=7.8±0.7) performed the fine motor skill part of the fine MABC and played two games with the sensor augmented toy called “Futuro Cube”. The game “roadrunner” focused on speed while the game “maze” focused on precision. Each game had several levels of difficulty (LoD’s). While playing, both sensor and game data were collected. Four machine learning classifiers were trained with this data to predict the fine MABC outcome: k-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), and support vector machine (SVM). First, we compared the performances of the games and classifiers. Subsequently, we compared the LoD’s and types of data for the classifier and game that performed best on accuracy and F1-score. RESULTS The highest achieved mean accuracy (0.76) was achieved with a DT classifier that was trained on both sensor and game data obtained from playing the easiest and hardest level of the roadrunner game. Significant differences in performance were found in accuracy scores between data obtained from the roadrunner and maze game (DT: P=.01; KNN: P=.02; LR: P=.04; SVM: P=.04). No significant differences in performance were found in accuracy scores between the best performing classifier and the other three classifiers for both the roadrunner game (DT vs KNN: P=.42; DT vs LR: P=.35; DT vs SVM: P=.08) and the maze game (DT vs KNN: P=.15; DT vs LR: P=.62; DT vs SVM: P=.26). The accuracy of the best performing LoD (combination of the easiest and hardest level) achieved with the DT classifier trained with sensor and game data obtained from the roadrunner game was only significantly better than the combination of the easiest and middle level (P=.046). CONCLUSIONS The results show that sensor augmented toys can do a good job in predicting the fine MABC score for children in elementary school. Selecting the game type (focusing on speed or precision) and data type (sensor or game data) is more important for the performance than selecting the machine learning classifier or LoD.

<p class="apa">As Chinese traditional folk culture, folk games have unique educational value which can boost the development of young children’s fine motor. Based on previous investigation of fine motor skill of children in Nanchong, Sichuan Province, the researcher chose a middle class in public city kindergarten A with lower survey score as the study object. The class with lower level on fine motor skill was set as an intervention group and the other class as a control group to conduct a 3-month educational activity about folk games. During the process, the researchers, being the teachers themselves, used qualitative research method to study the process of educational activities about folk games targeting at the boost of development on young children’s fine motor skills, by tracking and observing children, and physical analysis of their painting and handwork. The research results indicate that there is an overall improvement of fine motor skills of young children from the intervention group in kindergarten A and their performances on pinching, touching, drawing and cutting all surpass children from the control group.</p>
