Learning motor skill
Research project
Active research
Short description
Past theoretical and empirical work, primarily on non-human animals, inspired us to propose an expansion-exploration-selection-refinement (ESR) theory of how the human brain acquires motor skill. Using a mixture of behavioral experiments, behavioral genetics, functional and structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and computational and statistical modeling, our ongoing work aims to test and refine this theory.
More information
The project is carried out in the research group Lifespan Development Lab (Lifelab) at the Department of Psychology.
