Brief Summary
Objective: Evaluate whether a task practiced in virtual environment could provide better performance than the same task in real environment and if performing a task in virtual environment could enable transfer to the same task in real environment and vice versa. Method: the investigators evaluated 65 older adults of both genders, aged 60-82 years. The investigators applied a timing coincident task to measure the perceptual-motor ability to perform a motor response. The participants were divided into two groups: a) started in a real interface and b) started in a virtual interface.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Improvement and transfer of performance through virtual and real task, by using motor learning protocol (acquisition phase, retention and transfer tests) - with one outcome: motor learning.
1 week
Study Arms (4)
Virtual interface group A
EXPERIMENTALOlder adults that started the practice on the virtual interface
Virtual interface group B
EXPERIMENTALOlder adults that started the practice on the virtual interface and then practiced on real task.
Real interface group A
ACTIVE COMPARATOROlder adults that started the practice on the virtual interface
Real interface group B
ACTIVE COMPARATOROlder adults that started the practice on the real interface and then practiced on virtual task.
Interventions
First practice on virtual interface in order to evaluate the improvement and its influence on real interface performance (second practice).
