Inappropriate recall of aiming strategies in response to a novel perturbation. a, In Experiment 5, all participants were exposed to a novel −30° rotation after completing a training block with either a 45° or 15° rotation, followed by a washout block. b, Heading angle for the last 10 trials of the washout block and all trials of the Rotation 2 block. The 45° group initially responded to the perturbation by moving in the wrong direction and, after a few trials, reversed direction, reducing error faster than the 15° group. c, Enhanced picture of behavior over the first four trials of the Rotation 2 block, showing performance of each individual (dots). Note the expanded vertical axis relative to b. d, Mean learning rate from an exponential fit of all trials in Rotation 2 block, showing faster learning of the rotation for the 45° group. Data are mean ± SEM. *Significant difference.
