T1 - Enhanced cognitive performance after multiple adaptations to visuomotor transformations
AU - Schmitz, Gerd
N1 - Funding Information: GS received an internal funding from the Leibniz University Hannover (https://www.unihannover.de/en/) for the project’Cognition in Motion’ (60460288). The publication of this article was funded by the Open Access Fund of Leibniz Universität Hannover. The funder had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The funder provided support in the form of salaries for author [GS], but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The specific role of the author is articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section. The author would like to thank the members of the project ‘Cognition in motion’ for programming the software and the support during the cognitive performance tests.

N2 - Several studies reported that adaptation to a visuomotor transformation correlates with the performance in cognitive performance tests. However, it is unclear whether there is a causal relationship between sensorimotor adaptation and cognitive performance. The present study examined whether repeated adaptations to double steps and rotated feedback increase cognitive performance assessed by neuropsychological tests in a pre-post design. The participants of the intervention group adapted in 24 sessions their hand movements to visuomotor transformations with increasing size. Pre-post changes were significantly larger in the intervention group than in a control group without training. This result suggests a causal relationship between sensorimotor adaptation training and cognitive performance.
