An Aha moment precedes the strategic response to a visuomotor rotation CurrentBiology
Check out our latest work, with some somewhat surprising findings!
Another fun little paper from the lab!
Townsend et al. discover that strategic compensation for a sensorimotor perturbation emerges from an “Aha!” moment, producing a discrete jump to (approximately) the right solution. They demonstrate, through computational modeling, that this offers a better account of participant behavior than gradual error minimization or trial-and-error learning.
