Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Finger Tapping Task
The finger tapping task is a motor sequence learning task in which participants are asked to tap with their non-dominant hand a 5-digits sequence (for example 4-1-3-2-4 or 2-4-13-2), as rapidly and accurately as possible, using the numeric key-buttons of a computer keyboard or a response box.
5 minutes
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3
15 minutes
Study Arms (4)
Motor imagery group
EXPERIMENTALMotor imagery group. Only motor imagery intervention will be applied to participants.
Action Observation Group
EXPERIMENTALAction Observation Group. Only action observation intervention will be applied to participants
Action Observation + Motor imagery Group
EXPERIMENTALAction Observation + Motor imagery Group. Both action observation and motor imagery interventions will be applied for 5 minutes each.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONInterventions
Motor imagery is the mental execution of a movement without any overt movement or without any peripheral (muscle) activation. It has been shown that motor imagery leads to the activation of the same brain areas as an actual movement. Therefore, it is used to acquire new motor skills. Action Observation (AO) involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions.
