“…Acquisition of motor skills involves a process of initial encoding of new motor outputs in response to novel sensorimotor associations (Wise et al, 1998;Gandolfo et al, 2000;Li et al, 2001;Paz et al, 2003;Lebedev et al, 2005;Jarosiewicz et al, 2008;Zach et al, 2008;Arce et al, 2010). Unless disrupted, this may be followed by a process of consolidation in which labile motor memories may evolve into a more stable form, becoming less susceptible to interference and allowing for later retrieval (Stickgold and Walker, 2005;Nader and Hardt, 2009;Robertson, 2009).…”
