Huge thanks to my coauthors Adrian Haith & Rouwen Cañal-Bruland 🙏
And to Alfredo Hernandez for further developing the interactive citation graph that visualizes the separation in motor learning research!
Excited to share our new preprint on bridging basic & applied approaches in motor learning 🧠⛳️
These traditions are currently separated in terms of ideas, methods & communities.
We argue that integration could move the field forward by connecting complementary perspectives on how humans learn and optimize movement.

4. Culture
Lastly, bridging basic & applied motor learning isn’t just intellectual, it’s also cultural.
Basic & applied motor learning often live in different worlds:
🔹 different labs
🔹 different conferences
🔹 different departments
These separations might limit exchange. Joint projects, workshops & interdisciplinary training could help bring the fields together.
