DOI: 10.1002/dev.21573
Abstract: We investigated the influence of habitual grasp strategies and object orientation on motor planning in 3-year-olds and 4- to 5-year-old children and adults. Participants were required to rotate different vertically oriented objects around 180°. Usually,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dev.21911
Abstract: Abstract This study explored age‐related differences in motor planning as expressed in arm‐hand kinematics during a sequential peg moving task with varying demands on goal insertion complexity (second‐order planning). The peg was a vertical cylinder… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2019.102902
Abstract: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) demonstrate inefficient motor planning ability with a tendency to opt for non-optimal planning strategies. Motor imagery can provide an insight to this planning inefficiency, as it may be a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.conb.2017.10.023
Abstract: Neurons in motor cortex and connected brain regions fire in anticipation of specific movements, long before movement occurs. This neural activity reflects internal processes by which the brain plans and executes volitional movements. The study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.humov.2018.07.006
Abstract: Several studies suggest that children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) may be able to plan simple movements as well as their peers, but experience increasing difficulties as the movements become complex. The present study aimed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14624
Abstract: In an environment full of potential goals, how does the brain determine which movement to execute? Existing theories posit that the motor system prepares for all potential goals by generating several motor plans in parallel.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-25558-8
Abstract: The smooth conduct of movements requires simultaneous motor planning and execution according to internal goals. So far it remains unknown how such movement plans are modified without interfering with ongoing movements. Previous studies have isolated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-06800-9
Abstract: Many studies have associated mental imagery with motor control mechanisms by showing mutually active brain areas and functions, as well as similar temporal patterns of imagining and executing the same motor actions. One of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.14136
Abstract: The ability to actively suppress, or gate, irrelevant sensory information is required for safe and efficient walking in sensory‐rich environments. Both motor attention and motor planning alter somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in healthy adults. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00771.2016
Abstract: Motor planning is not a monolithic process, and distinct stages of motor planning are responsible for encoding different levels of abstractness. However, how these distinct components are mapped into different neural substrates remains an open… read more here.
