Moving one part of the body can generate interaction forces that tend to destabilise other parts of the body. However, stability is maintained by mechanisms that predict and actively oppose these interaction forces. When our body or environment changes these anticipatory mechanisms adapt so as to continue to produce accurate predictions. In this study we examine the acquisition of a novel predictive coordination between the arms, in a situation in which a force is produced on one hand as a consequence of the action of the other hand. Specifically, a force was applied to the left hand that depended on the velocity of the right hand. With practice, subjects learned to stabilise the perturbed left arm during right arm movements by predicting and actively opposing the externally applied forces. Following adaptation, we examined how learning generalised to a new joint configuration of the right or left arm, in order to investigate the coordinate systems in which the internal transformation from movement to force is represented. This revealed a dissociation between the representation of the action of the right arm and the representation of its consequence, that is the force on the left arm. The movement is represented in extrinsic coordinates related to the velocity of the hand, whereas the force resulting from the movement is represented in a joint-based intrinsic coordinate system.
