Pasquale Cardellicchio; Sara Borgomaneri – npj Science of Learning, 2025
The consolidation process stabilizes a new initially labile memory. This consolidation could operate on a shorter timescale during wakefulness after initial motor learning. Within micro-offline learning states, sequences of simple individual actions learned through interleaved practice are condensed into a unified skill through a time-dependent…

Laura A. Malone; Nayo M. Hill; Haley Tripp; Vadim Zipunnikov; Daniel M. Wolpert; Amy J. Bastian – npj Science of Learning, 2025
The ability to adjust movements in response to perturbations is key for an efficient and mature nervous system, which relies on two complementary mechanisms -- feedforward adaptation and feedback control. We examined the developmental trajectory of how children employ these two mechanisms using a previously validated visuomotor rotation task,…

Learning to perform multiple tasks robustly is a crucial facet of human intelligence, yet its mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we formulated four hypotheses concerning task interactions and investigated them by analyzing training sequence effects through a continual learning framework. Forty-nine subjects learned seven tasks sequentially, each of…

Chiharu Yamada; Yoshihiro Itaguchi; Claudia Rodríguez-Aranda – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Studies have shown that explicit strategies make a significant contribution to visuomotor adaptation. However, little attention has been given to potential unconscious cognitive biases in these strategies, despite that they involve a sequence of cognitive decision-making processes. To reveal the possible cultural biases involved in motor learning,…
