Despite increasing interest in the role of reward in motor learning, the underlying
mechanisms remain ill defined. In particular, the contribution of explicit processes to reward …

Recent findings have demonstrated that reward feedback alone can drive motor learning.
However, it is not yet clear whether reward feedback alone can lead to learning when a …

The human motor system rapidly adapts to systematic perturbations but the adapted
behavior seems to be forgotten equally rapidly. The reason for this forgetting is unclear, as is …

Multiple motor learning processes can be discriminated in visuomotor rotation paradigms. At
least four processes have been proposed: Implicit adaptation updates an internal model …

Motor exploration, a trial-and-error process in search for better motor outcomes, is known to
serve a critical role in motor learning. This is particularly relevant during reinforcement …

When sensory feedback is perturbed, accurate movement is restored by a combination of
implicit processes and deliberate reaiming to strategically compensate for errors. Here, we …

In sensorimotor adaptation tasks, feedback delays can cause significant reductions in the
rate of learning. This constraint is puzzling given that many skilled behaviors have inherently …

Could a pat on the back affect motor adaptation? Recent studies indeed suggest that
rewards can boost motor adaptation. However, the rewards used were typically reward …

Visuomotor adaptation involves multiple processes such as explicit learning, implicit
learning from sensory prediction errors, and model-free mechanisms like use-dependent …

Reward and punishment have long been recognized as potent modulators of human
behavior. Although reinforcement learning is a significant motor learning process, the exact …
