Long-term training continually fine tunes motor memories

Humans’ rapid adaptation to new dynamics is a crucial ability for interacting with the world. By combining the controlled manipulations of sensorimotor adaptation studies with the long-term learning approach of complex tasks, this study shows that the learned motor memory is continually tuned, and that retention increases with long-term training.
