Decomposition of a sensory prediction error signal for visuomotor adaptation

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Volume 44, Issue 2, 176-194 Abstract “To accomplish effective motor control, the brain contains an internal forward model that predicts the expected sensory consequence of a motor command. When this prediction is inaccurate, a sensory prediction error is produced which adapts the forward model to make […]

Not all choices are created equal: Task-relevant choices enhance motor learning compared to task-irrelevant choices

Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 1879-1888 Abstract “Lewthwaite et al. (2015) reported that the learning benefits of exercising choice (i.e., their self-controlled condition) are not restricted to task-relevant features (e.g., feedback). They found that choosing one’s golf ball color (Exp. 1) or choosing which of two tasks to perform
