During the study, older adults practiced serial response time task for five consecutive days while simultaneously receiving a-tDCS over primary motor cortex. The researchers assessed motor learning by measuring the response time and error rate of sequenced blocks of serial response time task immediately after the intervention, as well as 1\u00a0day and 1\u00a0week after the completion of intervention.\n \n Results<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n Results showed a significant interaction effect between groups and time for both response time and error rate (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001). Within each group, response time and error rate significantly differed from baseline (Day 1) at postintervention time points (Days 5, 6, and 12;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05), except for error rate in the sham transcranial direct current stimulation group between baseline and Day 12 (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.138). Additionally, significant between-group differences were observed immediately after the intervention (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01), and at 1\u00a0day and 1\u00a0week postintervention, with larger reductions in response time (Days 6 and 12;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001) and error rate (Days 6 and 12;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05 and\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01, respectively) in a-tDCS group.\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n Applying five consecutive sessions of a-tDCS over primary motor cortex induces significant short- and long-term improvements in motor learning among highly active older adults, highlighting strong impacts of a-tDCS on motor learning in this population.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/japa.2024-0281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]],"date-time":"2025-10-23T06:28:26Z","timestamp":1761200906000},"page":"414-423","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Impact of Multiple Sessions of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Implicit Motor Learning in High-Activity Older Adults: A Randomized Control Trial"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7632-8606","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ailin","family":"Talimkhani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9319-2341","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Razieh","family":"Abedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Research Center, Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0652-6025","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aliyeh","family":"Daryabor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Research Center, Department of Orthotics and Prosthetics, School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8646-6079","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zahra","family":"Mohammadzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cognitive and Brain Science, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7772-5737","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sedigheh Sadat","family":"Naimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Research Center, Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9078-6048","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leila","family":"Rahnama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Kinesiology, Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services, California State University, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"r1","series-title":"International Journal of Therapy and Rehabilitation","article-title":"The impact of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of primary motor cortex on motor learning in older adults with low levels of activity","author":"Abedi, R.","year":"2022","unstructured":"Abedi, R., Talimkhani, A., Mohammadzadeh, Z., Daryabor, A., & Naimi, S.S.
