The dissociable effects of reward on sequential motor behavior

S Sporn, X Chen, JM Galea - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2022 - journals.physiology.org
Reward has consistently been shown to enhance motor behavior; however, its beneficial
effects appear to be largely unspecific. For example, reward is associated with both rapid …

Continuous monitoring of cost-to-go for flexible reaching control and online decisions

A De Comite, P Lefèvre, F Crevecoeur - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Humans consider the parameters linked to movement goal during reaching to adjust their
control strategy online. Indeed, rapid changes in target structure or disturbances interfering …

Reward-based improvements in motor sequence learning are differentially affected by dopamine

S Sporn, JM Galea - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Reward is a powerful tool to enhance human motor behaviour with research showing that it
promotes motor sequence learning through increases in both motor vigour and movement …

Reward-based invigoration of sequential reaching

S Sporn, X Chen, JM Galea - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Seeking reward is a powerful tool for shaping human behaviour. While it has been
demonstrated that reward invigorates performance of simple movements, its effect on more …
