Interference Underlies Attenuation upon Relearning in Sensorimotor Adaptation
Savings refers to the gain in performance upon relearning. In sensorimotor adaptation, savings is tested by having participants adapt to perturbed feedback and, following a washout block during which ...

Mental graphs structure the storage and retrieval of visuomotor associations - Nature Human Behaviour
Trach and McDougle show that motor responses can form part of structured, graph-like memory representations.

Please check this out. It was a years-long effort by Max that revealed much more than we thought it would at the start.
The data and modeling clearly show that strategic re-aiming does not conform to the behavioral pattern we expect from random exploration or directly minimizing error.
The data and modeling clearly show that strategic re-aiming does not conform to the behavioral pattern we expect from random exploration or directly minimizing error.
New work led by Max Townsend showing that the strategic response to a visuomotor rotation ('explicit adaptation') is best described as insight learning, rather than gradual error-based or explorative learning.

An 'Aha!' moment precedes the strategic response to a visuomotor rotation
Strategic behaviour in sensorimotor adaptation tasks is typically modelled either as an error minimisation process or as a process of learning through trial-and-error. The former predicts a gradual re...

PSA: don’t use red and green as the two primary colors in your plots folks!
Who can and who cannot read this number? Playing with friends at 4am, my son discovered that he was colourblind at 17!

We demonstrate that cursor movements differ depending on the input device used in online experiments. Given that cursor movements are increasingly used to investigate ongoing perceptual, cognitive, and motoric processes, it is an important variable to consider
