Motor learning researchers study how people learn from their own movement errors and how they adapt to changing environments. However, most of these studies are in labs with expensive equipment and small samples of participants. A new research study, published in Nature Human Behaviour, has explored this question using a novel approach: citizen science. Citizen science is the involvement of the public in scientific research, often through online . The study developed a simple web-based motor test that anyone could take at home. The test involved moving the mouse cursor to a target on the screen, the cursor was rotated by a random angle. The participants had to their movements to correct for the rotation. The test generated a large dataset of more than 2,000 sessions from a diverse group of participants and revealed how people corrected for motor errors using different strategies: some relied more on subconscious, implicit learning, while others used more conscious, explicit learning. The authors said that this large-scale approach could traditional lab studies and help democratize motor learning research.
