Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Our motor outputs are constantly re-calibrated to adapt to systematic perturbations. This
motor adaptation is thought to depend on the ability to form a memory of a systematic …

Sensorimotor adaptation is a central function of the nervous system, as it allows humans and
other animals to flexibly anticipate their interaction with the environment. In the context of …

Background The motor system has the remarkable ability not only to learn but also to learn
how fast it should learn. However, the mechanisms behind this ability are not well …

To reduce the risk of slip, grip force (GF) control includes a safety margin above the force
level ordinarily sufficient for the expected load force (LF) dynamics. The current view is that …

Feedback delays are a major challenge for any controlled process, and yet we are able to
easily control limb movements with speed and grace. A popular hypothesis suggests that the …

The way that a motor adaptation is trained, for example, the manner in which it is introduced
or the duration of the training period, can influence its internal representation. However …

Extensive computational and neurobiological work has focused on how the training
schedule, ie, the duration and rate at which an environmental disturbance is presented …

When the error signals that guide human motor learning are withheld following training,
recently-learned motor memories systematically regress toward untrained performance. It …

Motor learning and adaptation are important functions of the nervous system. Classical
studies have characterized how humans adapt to changes in the environment during tasks …
