Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between habits and motor skills in humans

TL;DR: The authors suggest that habits are better understood at the level of intermediate computations and, at this level, habits can be considered to be equivalent to the phenomenon of automaticity in skill learning - improving speed of performance at the cost of flexibility.

The Cerebellum Does More Than Sensory-Prediction-Error-Based Learning In Sensorimotor Adaptation Tasks

TL;DR: It is suggested that a consequence of cerebellar dysfunction is not only impaired sensory-prediction-error-based learning, but also a difficulty in developing and/or maintaining an aiming solution in response to a visuomotor perturbation, suggesting a new role for the cerebellum in sensorimotor adaptation tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI

The explicit/implicit distinction in studies of visuomotor learning: Conceptual and methodological pitfalls.

TL;DR: Variation in measurement methodology may inadvertently favor one component of the measured quantity over another, leading to different results even though the measurement quantity has not changed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling motor learning using heteroskedastic functional principal components analysis.

TL;DR: A novel method for estimating population-level and subject-specific effects of covariates on the variability of functional data is proposed, motivated by a novel dataset from an experiment assessing upper extremity motor control, and quantifies the reduction in movement variability associated with skill learning.
