Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Accuracy-biased complex motor skill trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The accuracy-biased group receives a dose equivalent intervention with a emphasize on accuracy. The width of the track projected on the table is narrower (less than 2cm) and the adaptive score received are based on their accuracy to say within the boundary of the track.

Group II: Speed-biased complex motor skill trainingActive Control1 Intervention

Participants will perform 400 complex movements per day over 4 days over a one-week period. The task requires participants to navigate their hand through a "track" projected on the surface of a table with a width of 5cm. Participants receive adaptive score based on their movement time. .
