Multiple systems for motor skill learning [PDF]
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010 AbstractMotor learning is a ubiquitous feature of human competence. This review focuses on two particular classes of model tasks for studying skill acquisition. The serial reaction time (SRT) task is used to probe how people learn sequences of actions, while adaptation in the context of visuomotor or force field perturbations serves to illustrate how ...

Acquisition and consolidation processes following motor imagery practice
Scientific Reports, 2021 It well-known that mental training improves skill performance. Here, we evaluated skill acquisition and consolidation after physical or motor imagery practice, by means of an arm pointing task requiring speed-accuracy trade-off.

Vocal learning promotes patterned inhibitory connectivity. [PDF]
, 2017 Skill learning is instantiated by changes to functional connectivity within premotor circuits, but whether the specificity of learning depends on structured changes to inhibitory circuitry remains unclear.

Learning Redundant Motor Tasks With and Without Overlapping Dimensions: Facilitation and Interference Effects [PDF]
, 2014 Prior learning of a motor skill creates motor memories that can facilitate or interfere with learning of new, but related, motor skills. One hypothesis of motor learning posits that for a sensorimotor task with redundant degrees of freedom, the nervous ...

Scientific Reports, 2018 Motor imagery, that is the mental rehearsal of a motor skill, can lead to improvements when performing the same skill. Here we show a powerful and complementary role, in which motor imagery of different movements after actually performing a skill allows ...

Experience Playing a Musical Instrument and Overnight Sleep Enhance Performance on a Sequential Typing Task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The smooth, coordinated fine motor movements required to play a musical instrument are not only highly valued in our society; they also predict academic success in areas that generalize beyond the motor domain, including reading and math readiness, and ...

Motor-Skill Learning Is Dependent on Astrocytic Activity
Neural Plasticity, 2015 Motor-skill learning induces changes in synaptic structure and function in the primary motor cortex through the involvement of a long-term potentiation- (LTP-) like mechanism.

Neural substrates underlying motor skill learning in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Motor skill learning is critical in post-stroke motor recovery, but little is known about its underlying neural substrates. Recently, using a new visuomotor skill learning paradigm involving a speed/accuracy trade-off in healthy individuals we identified
