Motor abstraction training generalizes to the refinement of specific movement patterns

2026-05-08

Abstract excerpt

The ability to store abstract mental representations underlies generalization across virtually every domain of human cognition, from vision and language to concept learning. Yet whether the motor system generates such abstractions and whether they causally contribute to skill learning remain open questions. Here, we introduce a paradigm in which human participants learned to refine novel movement patterns by learn...
