Article Synopsis
- Visuomotor rotations are used to study how we adapt our movements, focusing on explicit aiming strategies and implicit recalibration, which are independent cognitive processes.* -
- Visual feedback plays a crucial role in these tasks, as shown by research indicating that the timing and duration of feedback influence the effectiveness of implicit recalibration during learning.* -
- This study examined different feedback durations (200, 600, and 1200 ms) but found minimal differences in implicit recalibration among groups, suggesting feedback duration may have little impact and highlighting the need for further research on related adaptation processes.*
Measures of explicit and implicit in motor learning: what we know and what we don't.

Article Synopsis
- - Adaptation tasks help researchers understand how explicit and implicit processes contribute to sensorimotor learning, but different assumptions in methods can lead to varying results across studies.
- - There is uncertainty about whether explicit and implicit processes work together additively, with cognitive studies showing that measurement biases can distort findings.
- - To better understand these processes in visuomotor adaptation, it's essential to enhance our characterization of phenomena and develop more comprehensive models for testing.
One persistent curiosity in visuomotor adaptation tasks is that participants often do not reach maximal performance. This incomplete asymptote has been explained as a consequence of obligatory computations within the implicit adaptation system, such as an equilibrium between learning and forgetting. A body of recent work has shown that in standard adaptation tasks, cognitive strategies operate alongside implicit learning.

- Visuomotor rotations, used to study motor adaptation, involve explicit aiming strategies and implicit recalibration, which can be assessed using different methods.
- This study compared direct (verbal reporting) and indirect (exclusion) methods of measuring these processes under consistent and intermittent conditions.
- Results indicated that consistent reporting showed similar results across measures, while intermittent reporting revealed that verbal accounts indicated more explicit re-aiming and less implicit adaptation compared to exclusion, suggesting that measurement methods can influence the outcomes observed in studies of motor adaptation.
