TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Common mechanisms of human perceptual and motor learning JO - Nature reviews: neuroscience A1 - Censor, Nitzan A1 - Sagi, Dov A1 - Cohen, Leonardo G. SP - 658 EP - 664 VL - 13 IS - 9 N2 - The adult mammalian brain has a remarkable capacity to learn in both the perceptual and motor domains through the formation and consolidation of memories. Such practice-enabled procedural learning results in perceptual and motor skill improvements. Here, we examine evidence supporting the notion that perceptual and motor learning in humans exhibit analogous properties, including similarities in temporal dynamics and the interactions between primary cortical and higher-order brain areas. These similarities may point to the existence of a common general mechanism for learning in humans.
