About
Arianna Moreno is a researcher in motor learning and human performance, with a focus on the interplay between cognitive and motor processes during skill acquisition. Her work examines how mental workload, self-efficacy, and motor performance evolve across repeated practice sessions, particularly in reaching movements. In her most-cited paper, "Motor Performance, Mental Workload and Self-Efficacy Dynamics during Learning of Reaching Movements throughout Multiple Practice Sessions" (2019), she demonstrated that self-efficacy and mental workload fluctuate in tandem with performance improvements, offering insights into the cognitive underpinnings of motor learning. This research has implications for rehabilitation, sports training, and human-computer interaction, where understanding learner engagement is critical. With 16 citations, this work has been recognized for its contribution to bridging cognitive psychology and motor control. Moreno’s findings help educators and therapists design more effective practice regimens by accounting for the dynamic relationship between confidence, cognitive load, and motor skill development. Her research continues to inform how we optimize learning environments for complex motor tasks.
