Policy-Gradient Reinforcement Learning as a General Theory of Practice-Based Motor Skill Learning

2025-10-20

Abstract excerpt

Mastering any new skill requires extensive practice, but the computational principles underlying this learning are not clearly understood. Existing theories of motor learning can explain short-term adaptation to perturbations, but offer little insight into the processes that drive gradual skill improvement through practice. Here, we propose that practice-based motor skill learning can be understood as a form of re...
