Table 1. Classification of motor learning.

Motor sequence learning: ‘refers to the process by which simple, well defined movement elements come to be performed effortlessly as a unitary sequence through repeated practice’ [2].

Motor adaptation: ‘involves adjusting how an already well-practiced action is executed to maintain performance in response to a change in the environment (e.g. force, visual etc) or the body’ [1].

Repeated ballistic movements: repeated brisk movements of a single joint.

Visuomotor learning: capacity to identify and perform novel movements of a visually guided motor task efficiently and effortlessly through repeated practice.

Ecological learning: refers to performance of movements that reflect real-world tasks through repeated practice.
