Abstract

Thach, following the Marr-Albus theory, suggests that the cerebellum contributes to sensorimotor learning through a process of context-response linkage. However, perceptual learning studies demonstrate that the context itself is subject to adaptive modifications and recent evidence has shown that motor responses derived from such perceptions display appropriate changes which may be quite independent of cerebellar processing.
