npj Parkinson's Disease - Impaired effort perception, not reward sensitivity, impacts the effort-reward trade-off in Parkinson’s disease

Author summary Conflicting previous work has suggested that reinforcement feedback leads to either greater or smaller movement corrections. Here we elucidate that past successful actions lead to a sup...

How do precision of movement and proprioception influence motor control and adaptation? Several theories—such as the exploration-exploitation hypothesis—propose that variability plays a key role in mo...

In this episode, coauthor Jonathan M. Wood provides an in-depth overview of the recently published research titled "Explicit and Implicit Locomotor Learning in Individuals with Chronic Hemiparetic Str...

When learning a new motor skill, people often must use trial and error to discover which movement is best. In the reinforcement learning framework, this concept is known as exploration and has been li...
