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 …

Abstract The exploits of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer represent the pinnacle of
motor learning. However, when considering the range and complexity of the processes that …

Maintaining attention for more than a few seconds is essential for mastering everyday life.
Yet, our ability to stay focused on a particular task is limited, resulting in well-known …

In order to generate skilled and efficient actions, the motor system must find solutions to
several problems inherent in sensorimotor control, including nonlinearity, nonstationarity …

Learning new motor behaviors or adjusting previously learned actions to account for
dynamic changes in our environment requires the operation of multiple distinct motor …

Learning motor skills evolves from the effortful selection of single movement elements to
their combined fast and accurate production. We review recent trends in the study of skill …

The role of the cerebellum in motor control and learning has been largely inferred from the
effects of cerebellar damage. Recent work shows that cerebellar damage produces greater …

An issue of great recent interest is whether motor memory consolidates in a manner
analogous to declarative memory–that is, with the formation of a memory that progresses …

Reach errors may be broadly classified into errors arising from unpredictable changes in
target location, called target errors, and errors arising from miscalibration of internal models …

Human motor behavior is constantly adapted through the process of error-based learning.
When the motor system encounters an error, its estimate about the body and environment …
