Speeding up motor learning

I have performed a number of studies looking at how we can enhance motor learning, in typically developing populations, and in populations with motor disorders. I have examined questions of what sort of feedback is optimal to use, the effect of posture and how timing affects the process of motor learning. For example, how does learning a second sequence interference with the first sequence (Friedman & Korman, 2017), how does observing an expert aid in motor learning (Friedman & Korman, 2019), how can analogies speed up motor learning (Zacks & Friedman, 2020), and what is the effect of increasing variability on learning? (Friedman et al., 2022)

I’m interested in how we produce and learn movement, in typical development and in motor disorders
