Values are mean (SE) reaching errors and performance at movement end point and peak velocity after reach training with an aligned cursor or misaligned visual feedback of the hand. Movement distance errors in the Gain Generalization Protocol are reported with respect to the target (positive value = overshot the target and negative value = undershot the target). As well, path length achieved at peak velocity and peak velocity are reported. Values are reported for each target, after subjects trained with the visual cursor (i.e., performance is shown in the first no-cursor reaching task completed).
