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

How do habit and skill relate to one another? Among many traditions of habit research, we
suggest that'slip-of-action'habits are the type most likely to relate to motor skill. Habits are …

It is now commonly accepted that instrumental actions can reflect goal-directed control; ie,
they can show sensitivity to changes in the relationship to and the value of their …

Background. Upper-limb impairment in patients with chronic stroke appears to be partly
attributable to an upregulated reticulospinal tract (RST). Here, we assessed whether the …

Reaction times (RTs) are assumed to reflect the underlying computations required for
making decisions and preparing actions. Recent work, however, has shown that movements …

Repetition of specific movement biases subsequent actions towards the practiced
movement, a phenomenon known as use-dependent learning (UDL). Recent experiments …

Our sensorimotor system appears to be influenced by the recent history of our movements.
Repeating movements toward a particular direction is known to have a dramatic effect on …

Proprioceptive information arises from a variety of channels, including muscle, tendon, and
skin afferents. It tells us where our static limbs are in space and how they are moving. It …

The characteristics of goal-directed actions tend to resemble those of previously executed
actions, but it is unclear whether such effects depend strictly on action history, or also reflect …

Computational modeling provides a framework to understand human movement control. For
this approach, physiologically motivated and experimentally validated models are required …
