Pharmacological Dopamine Manipulation Does Not Alter Reward-Based Improvements in Memory Retention during a Visuomotor Adaptation Task

Abstract: Motor adaptation tasks investigate our ability to adjust motor behaviors to an ever-changing and unpredictable world. Previous work has shown that punishment-based feedback delivered during a visuomotor adaptation task enhances error-reduction, whereas reward increases memory retention. While the neural underpinnings of the influence of punishment on the adaptation phase remain unclear, reward has been hypothesized to increase retention through dopaminergic mechanisms. We directly tested this hypothesis throug… Show more

“…However, given the informative and coherent relationships between WM and motor learning and the ability to predict overall performance on that basis, could it be that the genes we selected do not relate in any meaningful way to performance in these reward-based tasks? In line with this, a recent study showed that DA pharmacological manipulation did not alter reward effects in a visuomotor adaptation task (Quattrocchi et al, 2018). However, previous work has shown that Parkinson’s disease patients show impaired reward-based motor performance (Pekny et al, 2015).…”

“…This finding is likely to be attributable to the gradual nature of the perturbation schedule, which largely controlled and dictated rates of learning . Despite this consideration, such a lack of effect nonetheless remains challenging to put in perspective with the literature, since mixed patterns of results regarding rewards’ influence on motor learning have been reported . For instance, while some studies have shown that rewards leave acquisition unaltered but facilitate immediate retention, others have conversely shown that rewards facilitate acquisition but leave immediate retention unaltered .…”

For instance, while some studies have shown that rewards leave acquisition unaltered but facilitate immediate retention, others have conversely shown that rewards facilitate acquisition but leave immediate retention unaltered . A recent report even revealed that rewards can be detrimental to acquisition of novel motor behaviors by interfering with explicit learning processes, which adds to the apparent complexity of the way rewards influence acquisition.…”
