Motor memory in childhood: Early expression of consolidation phase gains

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Are children faster than adults in consolidating procedural knowledge? In adults, the expression of the full benefits of motor practice requires a few hours of consolidation and sleep. Here we show that, although the processes generating the delayed gains continued beyond the first few hours post-training, children expressed significant gains as early as 1 h post-training, in the awake state.
