Proprioceptive short-term memory in passive motor learning.

ABSTRACT: A physical trainer often physically guides a learner's limbs to teach an ideal movement, giving the learner proprioceptive information about the movement to be reproduced later. This instruction requires the learner to perceive kinesthetic information and store the instructed information temporarily. Therefore, (1) proprioceptive acuity to accurately perceive the taught kinesthetics and (2) short-term memory to store the perceived information are two critical functions for reproducing the taught movement. While the importance of proprioceptive acuity and short-term memory has been suggested for active motor learning, little is known about passive motor learning. Twenty-one healthy adults (mean age 25.6 years, range 19-38 years) participated in this study to investigate whether individual l
