Acquisition of Motor Skills: Information Processing Differences between Children and Adults
TLDR
In this paper, the acquisition of motor skills: Information Processing Differences between Children and Adults are discussed. But the authors focus on the early stages of the learning process and do not consider the later stages.Abstract:

The Relation of Knowledge Development to Children's Basketball Performance.
Karen E. French,Jerry R. Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship of sport-specific knowledge to the development of children's skills in basketball and found that basketball knowledge was related to decision-making skills, whereas dribbling and shooting skill were related to the motor components of control and execution.

1999 C. H. McCloy Research Lecture: children's control, learning, and performance of motor skills.
TL;DR: As I look back over my career in research, it seems easy to frame my interest in children's skill performance around four questions; these were not the questions at the beginning of my work, and they evolved over time, and I judge them to be worthwhile, because others seem to find them useful.

Motor Learning in Children: Feedback Effects on Skill Acquisition
TL;DR: To optimize motor learning, children may require longer periods of practice, with feedback reduced more gradually, compared with young adults, because children have different information-processing capabilities than adults.

Developmental Features of Rapid Aiming Arm Movements Across the Lifespan
TL;DR: Investigating developmental features of the control of ballistic aiming arm movements by manipulating movement complexity, response uncertainty, and the use of precues suggested that young children's and senior adults' performances are poorer because less of their movement is under central control, and they therefore use on-line adjustments.

Differences in pointing task performance between preschool children and adults using mice
TL;DR: Overall, it was found that the difference between the performance of children and adults was large enough to warrant user interface interactions designed specifically for preschool children.

Levels of processing: A framework for memory research
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the evidence for multistore theories of memory and pointed out some difficulties with the approach and proposed an alternative framework for human memory research in terms of depth or levels of processing.

Human memory ; A proposed system and its control processes
TL;DR: This chapter presents a general theoretical framework of human memory and describes the results of a number of experiments designed to test specific models that can be derived from the overall theory.

A schema theory of discrete motor skill learning.
TL;DR: In this article, a new theory for discrete motor learning is proposed, based on the notion of the schema and uses a recall memory to produce movement and a recognition memory to evaluate response correctness.

A mathematical model for the transition rule in Piaget's developmental stages
TL;DR: In this paper, a new compound-stimuli visual information (CSVI) type of task was designed for testing quantitatively the central processor M construct, i.e., the maximum number of discrete "chunks" of information or schemes that M can control or integrate in a single act.
