Perceptual versus motor awareness of explicit contributions to visuomotor adaptation

Abstract

Abstract

In the current experiment, we compared reported perceptual awareness of the visuomotor rotation to motor awareness of changes in reaches established using the process dissociation procedure and drawing task following visuomotor adaptation to a large (50 degrees; R50 group) or a small (30 degrees; R30 group) cursor rotation. Results revealed that perceptual and motor awareness did not differ in magnitude for the R50 group and were significantly correlated. In contrast, while the R30 group perceptually reported being aware of the visuomotor rotation, motor awareness was significantly less and responses were not significantly correlated across tasks. Overall, results suggest that perceptual and motor tasks assess different processes underlying visuomotor adaptation to a small cursor rotation, such that perceptual awareness of the visuomotor rotation is not reflected in reaching performance on tasks assessing motor awareness.
