From lab to real life: Is there a link between lab-based and ecological assessment of Procedural Perceptual-Motor Learning tasks?

ABSTRACT: Procedural Perceptual-Motor Learning (PPML) refers to the process leading to the acquisition of new motor skills through repeated practice. It is crucial to (re-)acquire skills needed in daily life and rehabilitation. It can be divided in two processes: motor sequence learning (SL) and sensorimotor adaptation (SA). SL refers to the acquisition of a sequence of actions that follows a precise order, while SA involves continuously adjusting motor outputs to compensate for environmental or internal disturbances. These two processes are typically measured using different lab-based tasks and are presumed to play a role in ecological/ naturalistic tasks. However, to our knowledge, no study examined the relationship between performance on lab-based tasks and ecological/ naturalistic tasks. To addr
