Humans and animals trained on sequential reaction tasks show decreases in reaction time and increases in anticipatory movements even long after they have ceased to make errors. Humans show these changes even when they do not explicitly recognize that they performed a repeating sequence. We have developed a task which rats learn to perform error-free quickly, but in which they continue to show path-refinement on a single day. This task may enable the study of performance strategy changes occurring within a single day.
在序列反应任务中接受训练的人类和动物，即使在停止犯错很长时间后，反应时间仍会缩短，预期动作也会增加。即使人类没有明确意识到自己执行了重复序列，也会出现这些变化。我们开发了一种任务，大鼠可以很快学会无误地执行该任务，但在一天中它们仍会持续表现出路径优化。这个任务可能有助于研究一天内发生的表现策略变化。
