Study Summary
This study contains two pilot studies: 1) one study will investigate practice dosage of a postural stepping task in healthy young individuals in order to determine an operational definition of performance plateau, and 2) the other study will investigate whether practicing beyond reaching a performance plateau improves learning of a postural stepping task in healthy older adults, compared to discontinuing practice immediately after reaching a performance plateau. The investigators hypothesize that the group that continues to practice beyond reaching their performance plateau will learn and retain the motor task better than the other group.
Primary Outcome
Retention is the ability to maintain performance improvements of a motor skill after a period of no practice. Response time (RT) is collected \& defined as reaction time (amount of time from stimulus presentation to initial release of foot from electrode) plus movement time (amount of time from initial release of foot to foot reaching target). The first half of Block 1 of Day 1 serves as the pre-test performance. The primary outcome measure is the difference in the RT between pre-test and retent
