On the cerebellum and motor learning

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993
A critical review of the role of the cerebellum in motor learning is presented. Specifically, the hypothesis that the climbing fibers that issue from the inferior olive serve to modify the responsiveness of cerebellar Purkinje cells is evaluated. It is concluded that there is no convincing evidence, at this time, to support the view that a long-term ...

Durability of motor learning by observing

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2023
We used force channel probes in an upper limb force-field reaching task in humans to compare the durability of learning-related changes that occurred through visual observation to those after physical movement practice. Visually acquired representations of movement dynamics continued to influence behavior for at least 1 h after observation.

The Cerebellum and Motor Learning

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 1990
Abstract People with profound memory deficits can acquire new motor skills, even though on each day of training they may be unaware of having seen the training apparatus before. Similarly, rabbits can acquire or retain a conditioned nictitating membrane response despite massive lesions of the hippocampus or the cerebral cortex.

Motor Learning and Chunking in Dyslexia

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2009
The authors investigated whether participants with dyslexia had problems with executing discrete keying sequences and with switching between chunks in those sequences. Participants with dyslexia and participants in the control group executed 2 6-key sequences each, with 1 sequence consisting of 2 successive instances of 1 3-key segment (2 x 3 sequence)

Kinematic motor learning

Connection Science, 2011
This paper focuses on adaptive motor control in the kinematic domain. Several motor-learning strategies from the literature are adopted to kinematic problems: ‘feedback-error learning’, ‘distal supervised learning’, and ‘direct inverse modelling’ (DIM).

Motor Performance and Motor Learning in Lurcher Mice

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2002
Abstract: In adult Lurcher mice virtually all cerebellar Purkinje cells have degenerated as a direct consequence of mutant gene action, providing a natural model for studying the effect of cerebellar cortical lesions on the generation of compensatory eye movements. Lurcher mice possess both optokinetic (OKR) and vestibular (VOR) compensatory reflexes.

The cerebellum and motor learning

Current Biology, 1992
Lesions of the cerebellum and its associated circuitry abolish or impair several types of motor learning. It is controversial whether these lesions damage the motor memory or its performance. Recent work is evaluated in the light of the original suggestions by Marr, Albus and Gilbert that the cerebellar cortex is a preferred locus for reflex plasticity

Motor-Transformation Learning

Perception, 1974
Motor-transformation learning theory asserts that people learn through experience what stimulus transformations are under the control of their behavior. More specifically, it asserts that the parameter values of certain predetermined transformation groups are learned.

Modular motor learning

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2002
An interesting theory of sensorimotor control has been recently extended and simulated. The simulation can learn to control an arm in several mutually exclusive 'contexts', situations where the arm carries one of four objects with different mechanical properties. It provides a good theoretical framework for testing biological motor systems.

Perceptual learning, motor learning, and automaticity

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2010
Learning is one of the most basic functions of the brain: it changes the structure of synapses, forges bonding between mothers and their offspring, enables humans to ride a bike and to recite passages from literary works. In this issue of Trends in Cognitive Sciences, we are launching a series of articles dedicated to various aspects of learning, with ...
