Parkinson's disease (PD) can make it hard for people to stay motivated and learn new movements. This study looks at how practicing movements under self-controlled conditions can help people with PD improve their ability to learn and stay motivated. In this study, participants are grouped by age, gender, and how severe their condition is. They will visit the lab three times in one week to practice a task where they follow a path using a joystick. The study will compare two groups: one that chooses their practice conditions and another that follows set conditions.
- Participants must visit the lab 3 times in one week.
- Participants are grouped and practice a joystick task.
- Study explores how self-controlled practice can help PD patients.
