We presented a poster on perceptual skills in movement education at SCAPPS 2026 in Ottawa. This report covers our findings on discrimination, appraisal and use, research from both halves of the society, and where Baseworks stands in relation to the field.
Baseworks director of research Ksenia Asia Shcherbakova will present a poster at the 2026 Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology (SCAPPS) in Ottawa, October 1 to 3, 2026. The poster is titled “Perceptual Skills in Movement Education: Discrimination as a Prerequisite for Appraisal and Behavioural Change.” Baseworks founder Patrick
Join us at the 27th Annual Neuropsychology Day, where Asia presents our research, documenting a class of predictable failure patterns in healthy adults, where movement coordination consistently breaks down in specific tasks regardless of general movement experience.
It’s a misconception that the motor cortex controls muscles like a keyboard. But in Baseworks practice, we are trying to use it more like a keyboard, making motor learning easier.
This article is about a common misconception that the brain contains a “motor map” of our muscles in the same sense we usually think about maps (one-to-one representation). It further explains the term “distributed activation” in movement research and then compares it with the Baseworks Distributed Activation.
