Abstract

Motor learning can be divided into adaptation and skill learning. The cerebellum plays the major role in adaptation learning, which can be described as context-response linkage. Motor skill learning is development of a new ability such as a sequence of motor actions. Skill learning can occur in patients with cerebellar lesions. Cortical mechanisms play a major role in development of skills, [THACH]
