Outline of Final Research Achievements

Performance monitoring has been conceptualized as the process that initiates remedial actions when we commit errors. In this project, we confirmed the importance of performance monitoring in motor learning and in the control of learned motor behavior by reviewing previous studies. We further tested the validity of this assertion by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with performance monitoring. We focused on previously-reported phenomena in the motor learning area, including the contextual interference effect, beneficial effects of infrequent feedback, implicit learning, motor programming, and timing function. A series of experiments revealed that ERPs recorded during motor learning were modulated by performance monitoring.
