Abstract

We hypothesized that augmenting the visual error feedback provided to subjects training in a point-to-point reaching task under visual distortion would improve the amount and speed of adaptation. Previous studies showing that human learning is error-driven and that visual error augmentation can improve the rate at which subjects decrease their trajectory error in such a task provided the motivation for our study. In a controlled experiment, subjects were required to perform point-to-point reaching movements in the presence of a rotational visual distortion. The amount and speed of their adaptation to this distortion were calculated based on two performance measures: trajectory error and hit time. We tested how three methods of error augmentation (error amplification, traditional error offsetting, and progressive error offsetting) affected the amount and speed of adaptation, and additionally propose definitions for “amount” and “speed” of adaptation in an absolute sense that are more practical than definitions used in previous studies. It is concluded that traditional error offsetting promotes the fastest learning, while error amplification promotes the most complete learning. Progressive error offsetting, a novel method, resulted in slower training than the control group, but we hypothesize that it could be improved with further tuning and indicate a need for further study of this method. These results have implications for improvement in motor skill learning across many fields, including rehabilitation after stroke, surgical training, and teleoperation.
视觉误差增强方法对任务表现和运动适应的影响
我们假设在视觉扭曲的点对点到达任务中,增加视觉误差反馈可以提高适应的数量和速度。先前的研究表明,人类学习是错误驱动的,而视觉误差增强可以提高受试者在这种任务中减少轨迹误差的速度,这为我们的研究提供了动力。在一项对照实验中,受试者被要求在旋转视觉扭曲的情况下进行点对点的到达运动。根据弹道误差和命中时间这两个性能指标,计算了它们对这种畸变的适应量和速度。我们测试了三种误差增强方法(误差放大、传统误差抵消和渐进式误差抵消)对适应量和适应速度的影响,并提出了绝对意义上的“量”和“速度”的定义,这些定义比以往研究中使用的定义更实用。结果表明,传统的误差补偿促进最快的学习,而误差放大促进最完整的学习。渐进式误差补偿是一种新颖的方法,导致训练速度比对照组慢,但我们假设可以通过进一步调整来改进,并表明需要进一步研究这种方法。这些结果对改善许多领域的运动技能学习具有启示意义,包括中风后康复、外科训练和远程手术。
