Learning new motor skills is a critical part of our daily lives. We use tools to cook, mend things, and input data into computers; we rent cars or borrow bicycles and maneuver them through unfamiliar environments; we take on jobs that sometimes require a whole new set of physical skills. Sometimes learning occurs quickly and effortlessly. For other skills the learning seems to never end. The research strategy undertaken in our lab has been devoted to discovering how humans acquire, retain, and transfer motor skills. In particular, we are concerned with understanding better ways to structure the learning environment to facilitate this process. We focus our interest on both lab-based tasks and real motor skills and analyze the behaviour of the individual - effectiveness and efficiency of performance in terms of time and error represents the primary variables of interest.

学习新的运动技能是我们日常生活的重要组成部分。我们用工具做饭、修理东西、把数据输入电脑;我们租汽车或借自行车，在陌生的环境中驾驶它们;我们从事的工作有时需要一套全新的体力技能。有时候，学习是快速而不费力的。对于其他技能，学习似乎永无止境。我们实验室的研究策略一直致力于发现人类如何获得，保留和转移运动技能。特别是，我们关心的是了解更好的方式来构建学习环境，以促进这一进程。我们把我们的兴趣集中在基于实验室的任务和真实的运动技能上，并分析个人的行为-在时间和错误方面表现的有效性和效率代表了主要的变量。
