Many everyday skills are unconsciously learned through repetitions of the same behaviour by binding independent motor acts into unified sets of actions. However, our ability to be consciously aware of producing newly and highly trained motor skills raises the question of the role played by conscious awareness of action upon skill acquisition. In this study we strengthened conscious awareness of self-produced sequential finger movements by way of asking participants to judge their performance in terms of maximal fluency after each trial. Control conditions in which participants did not make any judgment or performance-unrelated judgments were also included. Findings indicate that conscious awareness of action, enhanced via subjective appraisal of motor efficiency, potentiates sensorimotor learning and skilful motor production in optimising the processing and sequencing of action units, as compared to the control groups. The current work lends support to the claim that the learning and skilful expression of sensorimotor behaviours might be grounded upon our ability to be consciously aware of our own motor capability and efficiency.
许多日常技能是通过将独立的运动行为重复绑定成统一的动作集，在无意识中习得的。然而，我们有意识地意识到自己正在产生新的且训练有素的运动技能的能力，引发了关于动作的意识在技能习得中所起作用的问题。在本研究中，我们通过要求参与者在每次试验后根据最大流畅度来判断自己的表现，增强了对自我产生的连续手指运动的意识。还包括了参与者不做任何判断或做出与表现无关判断的对照条件。研究结果表明，与对照组相比，通过对运动效率的主观评估增强的动作意识，在优化动作单元的处理和排序方面，促进了感觉运动学习和熟练的运动产生。当前的研究支持了这样一种观点，即感觉运动行为的学习和熟练表达可能基于我们有意识地意识到自己运动能力和效率的能力。
