Moving in Time with Others: Exploring the Nature of Coordinated Movements and Its Benefits for Reading Abilities in Children and Remaining Mobile in Older AgeI will briefly talk about our latest paper on synchrony with social vs non-social stimuli and the use of the same paradigm to explore the link between time keeping and reading abilities in children. I will finish my talk by sharing with you the recent results that we have obtained in out-of-the-lab intervention work that aimed to examine the benefits of partnered versus unpartnered Tango dance and standard physiotherapy interventions in older adults with a history of falls.
