Trempe, Maxime; Sabourin, Maxime; Proteau, Luc – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Consolidation is a time-dependent process that is responsible for the storage of information in long-term memory. As such, it plays a crucial role in motor learning. Prior research suggests that some consolidation processes are triggered only when the learner experiences some success during practice. In the present study, we tested whether…
