Different types of Motor Learning

• Different types of Motor Learning - Adaptation:

  • Motor system responds to altered environmental constraints (internal or external) to regain/maintain levels of performance
• Different types of Motor Learning - Adaptation:

  • Healthy people show trial to trial learning based on ‘error feedback’ (Kitago & Krakauer, 2013)
  • Can occur in a single session & thought to be largely implicit
  • Learning measured through ‘after effects’ & ‘transfer’ (Berinker & Kording, 2008
• Different types of Motor Learning - Skill Learning:

  • acquiring new patterns of muscle activation to achieve improvements in performance, by reducing errors without compromising movement speed
