Editorial: Cognitive strategies in motor learning and rehabilitation

This Research Topic aims at providing a state-of-the-art overview of how cognitive strategies, such as AO and MI, are being deployed to understand and enhance motor performance across diverse populations. The contributions presented here span clinical and non-clinical domains, integrating theoretical, empirical, and applied perspectives. Methodologies range from neuroimaging and behavioral studies to systematic reviews, meta analyses, and intervention protocols. Collectively, these studies underscore the versatility of cognitive-motor strategies and their potential for improving functional outcomes, from skill acquisition to neurorehabilitation.
