© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Background: Previous dual task studies suggested that the difficulty of the concurrent cognitive and motor tasks may not be challenging to the same degree for each person. This study approaches this problem by setting individualized difficulty levels for tasks to examine the dual task interference. Research question: Do the features of postural sway depend on increased individualized difficulty levels of concurrent cognitive and postural activities? Methods: 20 young healthy participants (10 male, 10 female) took part in the study. Before the experiments, cognitive task difficulty (No-, Medium-, High) has been set individually. Subjects performed postural tasks (quiet stance, voluntary sway) concurrently with or without a cognitive task which based on simple arithmetic calculations. Postural sway features were examined. Results: Postural sway features were affected by individualized difficulty level of concurrent cognitive and postural activities. In voluntary sway, as a more challenging postural task, higher reductions were observed for such sway features as COP velocity and range in AP direction. Significance: This study signaled task-specific changes in postural sway features. When the difficulty levels were set individually, the effect of motor and cognitive dual task was more apparent when the balance requirement of the primary motor task increased.

Eş zamanlı gerçekleştirilen bilişsel ve motor görevin postür kontrolü üzerine etkisi Babajimopoulos, Zeren; Yılmaz, Uğur; Arpınar Avşar, Pınar; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2018-11-03) Amaç:Bu çalışmanın amacı farklı zorlukta postural motor görev sırasında eş zamanlı olarak gerçekleştirilen bilişsel görevin postür kontrolü üzerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem:19 gönüllü katılımcı (yaş:23±6 yıl, boy:171.7± cm, v.ağırlığı:71.1± kg) 1 dk boyunca üç farklı zorluk düzeyinde bilişsel görev altında, kuvvet platformu üzerinde ayakta sakin duruş (QS) ve istemli postural salınım (VS) hareketi yapmaları istenmiştir. Bilişsel görev işitsel olarak kendilerine ardışık olarak sunulan basit aritmetik...
EFFECT OF CONCURRENT FEEDBACK AND POSTURAL TASK DIFFICULTY ON POSTURAL CONTROL TAŞCI, SEDA; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Çelik, Hüseyin; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2022-9) Studies investigating the effect of concurrent feedback reported inconsistent results, especially on motor tasks with different difficulties. There is also lack of studies examining the effects of concurrent feedback on postural tasks with different difficulties. To fill this gap, this study investigated the effect of concurrent visual feedback (CVF) and postural task difficulty (PTD) on postural control in acquisition and retention phases. Participants were 40 university students who were randomly allocate...
The Combined Effect of Light Touch and Cognitive Task Difficulty on Postural Control çelik, tuğba; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2021-10-12) Studies investigating combined effects of light touch and cognitive task are limited and available results are inconsistent regarding effects of cognitive task on postural control. Therefore, this study investigated the combined effects of light touch and cognitive task difficulty on postural control. Participants performed cognitive task and light touch individually and simultaneously. Results indicated that both light touch and cognitive task improved postural sway individually. The cognitive task difficu...
Effect of cognitive task difficulty on postural control Gürsoy, Zeren Görkem; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2019) Human posture control is accompanied usually in daily life with other tasks, such as cognitive tasks. This thesis is on the effects of cognitive task difficulty on postural control, the postural control mechanisms, attention and its relation to posture control and finally the dual task environments for posture control. The experiment’s set an individualized difficulty level for each participant. Results indicate that when motor and challenging cognitive tasks are completed under dual task conditions, dual t...
The effects of cognitive load in learning from goal based scenario designed multimedia learning environment for learners having different working memory capacities Kılıç, Eylem; Yıldırım, Zahide; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2009) The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of principles aiming to reduce extraneous cognitive load in learning from goal based scenario designed multimedia learning environment for learners having different working memory capacities. In addition, the effects of goal based scenario and the principles of cognitive load theory on students’ perception, motivation and satisfaction has been explored. Two versions of the multimedia were developed for this study. In the first version (+CLT), the princ...
