Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Motor sequence learning is characterized by two distinct hierarchial levels of learning: one highly cognitive, task-oriented level and one subconscious, movement optimizing level. These two processes also occur on different time scales. In support to this view, it has been shown that multiple brain areas contribute to motor sequence learning, and that different areas are critically involved at different stages of learning. Here, we look at how the higher-level process may support the long-term learning of the lower level to produce an optimized movement. Using a computational model with continuous space and time, we compare reinforcement learning (RL) and supervised learning (SL) mechanisms at the lower level of acquisition. It was found that performance scarcely improved with RL while a substantial improvement was seen with SL. Blocking of each learning level confirmed experimental results that the mechanisms of learning and memory acquisition are different.
