Dual prism adaptation: calibration or alignment?(Theoretical Article)

From: Journal of Motor Behavior | Date: December 1, 2003| Author: Redding, Gordon M.; Wallace, Benjamin | Copyright information

ABSTRACT: Dual adaptation to different amounts or directions of prismatic displacement, or both, can be acquired and maintained with little mutual interference. Associative recalibration of the regional task- or workspace, contingent on differentiation of distinguishing sensory information, can explain such adaptation. In contrast, nonassociative realignment restores dimensional mapping among spatial representations. Methods for measuring the separate contributions of those 2 kinds...
