Abstract

Prior work has shown that independent motor memories of opposing dynamics can be learned when the movements are preceded by unique lead-in movements, each associated with a different direction of dynamics. Here we examine generalization effects using visual lead-in movements. Specifically, we test how variations in lead-in kinematics, in terms of duration, speed and distance, effect the expression of the learned motor memory. We show that the motor system is more strongly affected by changes in the duration of the movement, whereas longer movement distances have no effect.
