TO further understand visuomotor transformations in reaching, we compared adaptation to display rotation and altered gain in planar movements. Healthy subjects moved a cursor on a screen by moving an indicator on a horizontal digitizing tablet with their unseen hand. Adaptation to rotation was less complete and was accompanied by markedly increased directional variability. Adaptation training on a single target generalized broadly for gain change, but poorly for rotation. We propose that the difficulty in adapting to rotation arises from the substantial demands on short-term working memory imposed by the need to determine the new reference direction. Adaptation to gain change makes more modest demands on short-term memory to recalibrate the visuomotor scaling factor.
