As learning of manipulations often involves interactions with objects in novel environments, the present findings are an important step to understanding the control strategies associated with the integration of sensorimotor memories and motor planning.Д¬oordination fingers hand learning sensorimotor memory.Д®xperimental setup and variables. We conclude that somatosensory feedback from previous grasp experience alone can affect high-level grasp planning by constraining the relation between digit force and position even when the task behavioral consequences cannot be reliably predicted.

A follow-up experiment revealed that these effects were not dependent on visual feedback of object roll during object lift on the previous trial. Additionally, the negative covariation between digit forces and positions typically found for predictable CM presentations was also found for unpredictable CM trials. We found that both digit placement and force were systematically affected by the CM experienced on the previous trial. Grasp planning was quantified by measuring the torque generated on the object at lift onset. Subjects grasped and lifted an object whose center of mass (CM) was changed unpredictably across trials. We sought to determine whether this effect extends beyond force control to the coordination of digit placement and force. It is known that digit force planning is significantly influenced by previous manipulations even when object properties cannot be predicted on a trial-to-trial basis. For successful object manipulation, the central nervous system must appropriately coordinate digit placement and force distribution.
