Knowledge of results and motor learning: A review and critical appraisal.
Longer sessions equates to more practice and greater opportunity for motor learning.
Long-term depression has long been hypothesized to be an important mechanism behind motor learning and memory.
Further evidence for intact motor learning was provided in a study carried out by Corkin (1968).
Strengthening of the memory trace results from practice and feedback about movement outcome (see motor learning).
Areas of the brain responsible for planning and motor learning are sharpened.
Thereafter, numerous studies exploring the role of motor learning were conducted.
Such studies included the research of handwriting, and various practice methods to maximize motor learning.
The main area involved in motor learning is the cerebellum.
Leading research would suggest that climbing fibers play a specific role in motor learning.
