Hypothesis Testing Governs an Efficiency-Flexibility Trade-off in Strategic Motor Learning

2025-12-03

Abstract excerpt

It remains unknown how people discover an effective movement strategy when the environment changes (e.g., when adapting to a new computer trackpad). We propose that strategic adaptation operates through hypothesis testing: learners generate candidate hypotheses, discard those inconsistent with feedback, and iteratively refine their actions through practice. A core prediction of this account is an efficiency–flexib...
