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...

Early release! We found that visuomotor adaptation transfers across contexts where movement drives oppositely-directed visual motion (cursor moving toward the target vs target moving to the cursor). We believe this says something interesting about theories of internal models

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
Input device matters for measures of behaviour in online experiments - Psychological Research
Studies of perception, cognition, and action increasingly rely on measures derived from the movements of a cursor to investigate how psychological processes unfold over time. This method is one of the...

New preprint 📣

We demonstrate that many measures extracted from cursor movements differ between mouse and trackpads. Given input devices typically cannot be controlled in online experiments, it is important to account for this variable.
