Brain training breakthrough: motor skills may unlock language learning
NCT ID NCT03223090
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether training your motor skills (like hand movements) can also improve your ability to learn a language. Researchers believe that when the brain changes to learn a new physical skill, it might also boost nearby brain areas used for language. The study will involve 1,111 healthy French-speaking adults aged 20 to 40, and will measure language performance before and after motor training.
