Motor learning alters vision, but vision does not alter motor learning

Abstract

Previous research has established how people use visual information changes with motor learning. However, the dependencies of these two processes on each other are unclear. We find that limiting the availability of visual information degrades motor performance but not motor learning. We also find that motor learning reduces the impact of limiting the availability of visual information on motor performance. Together, these results suggest that how people use visual information depends on their motor skill.
