“…This idea is in line with an ethological perspective: in nature, animals are motivated to learn efficiently motor behaviors that have been repetitively associated with rewarding outcomes, in order to increase the likelihood of reaching these outcomes again in the future (Barron et al, 2010;Yamazaki et al, 2016). Whereas past research on motivation has traditionally focused on the impact of reward on decision-making (Balleine and O'Doherty, 2010;Bush et al, 2002;Dayan and Niv, 2008;Derosiere et al, 2017b;2017a;Gershman and Daw, 2017;Hare et al, 2011;O'Doherty, 2004;Padoa-Schioppa, 2011;Schultz, 2015;Shima and Tanji, 1998), there has been a recent rise in interest regarding its influence on motor learning (Therrien et al, 2016, Mawase et al, 2017, Uehara et al, 2019Vassiliadis et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2017;Sporn et al, 2020, Vassiliadis and Derosiere, 2020, Holland et al, 2019.…”
