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

The acquisition of a new motor skill is characterized first by a short-term, fast learning stage
in which performance improves rapidly, and subsequently by a long-term, slower learning …

Recent studies of upper limb movements have provided insights into the computations,
mechanisms, and taxonomy of human sensorimotor learning. Motor tasks differ with respect …

Recent work indicates that motor-skill learning is supported by four processes: a strategic
process that selects new goals of what to change in the environment, a perceptual-motor …

Behavioral research in cognitive psychology provides evidence for an important distinction
between immediate performance that accompanies practice and long-term performance that …

The relationship between the brain and the environment is flexible, forming the foundation
for our ability to learn. Here we review the current state of our understanding of the …

Trial-to-trial variability in the execution of movements and motor skills is ubiquitous and
widely considered to be the unwanted consequence of a noisy nervous system. However …

Learning a motor skill is associated with changes in patterns of brain activation with
movement. Here we have further characterized these dynamics during fast (short-term) …

The early stages of motor skill acquisition are often marked by uncertainty about the sensory
and motor goals of the task, as is the case in learning to speak or learning the feel of a good …

The neural basis of the internal models used in sensorimotor transformations is beginning to
be uncovered. Sensorimotor learning involves the modification of such models. Different …
