The brain rapidly adapts reaching movements to changing circumstances by using visual
feedback about errors. Providing reward in addition to error feedback facilitates the …

Sensorimotor adaptation has traditionally been viewed as a purely error-based process.
There is, however, growing appreciation for the idea that performance changes in these …

Sensory prediction errors are thought to update memories in motor adaptation, but the role
of performance errors is largely unknown. To dissociate these errors, we manipulated visual …

When we move, perturbations to our body or the environment can elicit discrepancies
between predicted and actual outcomes. We readily adapt movements to compensate for …

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 …

Adaptation of movement may be driven by the difference between planned and actual motor
performance, or the difference between expected and actual sensory consequences of …

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 …

Sensorimotor adaptation, the process that reduces movement errors by learning from
sensory feedback, is often studied within a session of about half an hour. Within such a …

Perturbations of sensory feedback evoke sensory prediction errors (discrepancies between
predicted and actual sensory outcomes of movements), and reward prediction errors …

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 …
