Document Summary
Lecture 11, neuroscience of motor learning two types of memory: short term memory. There is skill acquisition, and skill retention when it comes to remembering things learning is bringing something from your short term memory, to your long term memory: this process is called consolidation. You can lose one and still have the other. Amnesia: only a ects declarative memory, not procedural memory types of motor learning: adaptation: having a skill, but adapting it. A erent information: you compare sensory feedback with the action that you wanted to do. Subcortical areas: basal ganglia: key for habitual movements. The basal ganglia communicates with the sma, or the pre motor cortex for learned skills. Cerebellum is important for knowing how to do the motor task itself, and shapes the action that you have to do. Once you learn something, you have to consolidate which is doing it again and again until it is retained.
