Our study addresses the critical question of how learners acquire skills without the constant crutch of feedback, using a specialized training approach with intermittent feedback. Despite recognized benefits in skill...

During motor learning, people often practice reaching in variety of movement directions in a randomized sequence. Such training has been shown to enhance retention and transfer capability of the acquired...

Enhanced neurorehabilitation using robotic and virtual-reality technologies requires a computational framework that can readily assess the time course of motor learning in order to recommend optimal training conditions. Error-feedback plays...

This study used evidence from trial-by-trial errors to understand how humans can generalize what they learn across different movement directions while reaching. We trained 15 healthy subjects to reach in...

Several studies have suggested that the motor system takes advantage of a coordinate system when learning a novel sensorimotor environment. Such investigations, however, have not distinguished between initial preferences of...

It has been widely accepted that the CNS develops a representation (model) of the environment, but what is not entirely clear is the coordinate reference frame used. We explored how...
