  1. 6. Predictive Eye Movements During Action Observation in Infancy : Understanding the Processes Behind Action Prediction

    Författare :Dorota Green; Gustaf Gredebäck; Claes von Hofsten; Bennet I. Bertenthal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Action prediction; action understanding; eye movements; eye-tracking; culture; infnacy; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Being able to predict the goal of other people’s actions is an important aspect of our daily lives. This ability allows us to interact timely with others and adjust our behaviour appropriately.The general aim of the present thesis was to explore which processes best explain our ability to predict other people’s action goals during development.

  3. 7. Development of functional asymmetries in young infants : A sensory-motor approach

    Författare :Erik Domellöf; Louise Rönnqvist; Jacqueline Fagard; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Laterality; development; handedness; human infant; stepping response; placing response; head turning; arm movement; reaching; kinematic parameters; intralimb coordination; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Human functional laterality, typically involving a right-sided preference in most sensory-motor activities, is still a poorly understood issue. This is perhaps particularly true in terms of what underlying mechanisms that may govern lateral biases, as well as the developmental origins and course of events. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Modelling driver steering and neuromuscular behaviour

    Författare :Ola Benderius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reaching; neuromuscular behaviours; lateral control; driver models; Driver behaviours; active safety; autonomous vehicles;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis challenges the traditional view of treating steering behaviour as a tracking task, instead treating it as a reaching task. Here, reaching refers to a fundamental human behaviour with the the intriguing characteristic of having a linear relationship between maximum speed and distance, effectively making the movement time constant.

  5. 9. From Eye to Mind : Early Visuomotor Performance and Developmental Trajectories in Children Born Preterm

    Författare :Ylva Fredriksson Kaul; Lena Hellström-Westas; Claes von Hofsten; Kerstin Rosander; Katarina Strand Brodd; Birgitta Böhm; Audrey van der Meer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Children born very preterm; Visual tracking; Reaching; Neurodevelopment; Predictive control; Attention; Cognition; Psychology; Psykologi; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Children born very preterm, at less than 32 weeks of gestation, have an increased risk of developing problems with attention, cognition, perception and motor function. Despite this, the developmental trajectories leading from preterm birth to later impairments are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Sensorimotor transformations during grasping movements

    Författare :Daniel Säfström; Benoni B. Edin; Melvyn A. Goodale; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sensorimotor transformation; sensory integration; visuomotor map; human physiology; adaptation; grasping; sensory substitution; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : ‘Sensorimotor transformations’ are processes whereby sensory information is used to generate motor commands. One example is the ‘visuomotor map’ that transforms visual information about objects to motor commands that activates various muscles during grasping movements. LÄS MER
