Principle Investigator:
Dr. Nicola Hodges
Details:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the cognitive and behavioural processes involved in motor learning. Specifically, we are interested in how we learn motor skills in the presence (training in pairs) and absence of others (training alone).
We will study how people practice and learn a golf putting task across two consecutive days (1 session/day for 2 consecutive days). Day 1 may be conducted alone or in pairs and will last approximately 1-1.5 hour. Day 2 will be conducted alone and will last approximately 30-45 minutes. You will be paid $15.20/hour for your participation (total time commitment ~1.5-2.25 hours).
Eligibility criteria:
– Adult (age 18-35)
– Right-hand dominant
– Normal vision or wear corrective lenses
– No injury to the right hand
– No known neurological disorders
– No or very little experience playing golf or golf putting
– Vaccinated against COVID-19
If you meet the criteria detailed above and you are interested in participating, please respond to kin.msl@ubc.ca and we will provide further information over email*. You must also include in the email a phone number you can be reached at during normal work hours throughout the week, as we will contact you for scheduling.
