Dataset for "A Double Dissociation between Savings and Long-Term Memory in Motor Learning"

<p>Data for &quot;A Double Dissociation between Savings and Long-Term Memory in Motor Learning&quot;<br> <br> For analysis code and any updates, please visit&nbsp;&nbsp;https://github.com/AlkisMH/Savings_vs_Long_Term_Memory<br> <br> For any questions, please contact Alkis Hadjiosif (alkis [at] seas [dot] harvard [dot] edu; ahadjiosif [at] gmail [dot] com)</p> <p>These .mat files contain data collected for Experiments 1-4 and S1, used to reproduce Figures 1-6 and S1 in the paper. Data for each experiment are in the form of a Matlab structure, with each field consisting of a [Num_trials x Num_participants] matrix.</p> <p>The fields are:</p> <p><strong>TN:</strong>&nbsp;Trial Number</p> <p><strong>VF:</strong>&nbsp;Whether visual feedback was given during the trial (1: online visual feedback; 2: no visual feedback)</p> <p><strong>Rotation:</strong>&nbsp;The visuomotor rotation imposed on each trial (in degrees). CCW is positive, CW is negative.</p> <p><strong>Wait:</strong>&nbsp;Whether, right before the trial, a wait time was imposed (1) or not (0). Trials immediately following breaks are indicated by (2).</p> <p><strong>Instruction:</strong>&nbsp;Whether an instruction was given for the trial (1) or not (0). Only present in Experiment 3. Note that Experiment 3 includes:</p> <p>-&gt; Two specific instruction trials during learning and and two during relearning, before and after the 1-minute wait (&quot;Move your hand to the center of the target&quot;,&quot;Move your hand to the far end of the target&quot;)</p> <p>-&gt; Six random instruction trials before initial learning and six before relearning (&quot;Move your hand to the left/right/near/far end of the target&quot;), to familiarize participants with the instruction process</p> <p><strong>ITI:</strong>&nbsp;Time (in seconds) since the last trial (regardless of direction).</p> <p><strong>theta_target:</strong>&nbsp;Target direction (in degrees) relative to the 12 o&#39;clock position. Only included for Experiment 4: target is always at 12 o&#39;clock for Experiments 1-3.</p> <p><strong>theta:</strong>&nbsp;= reaching direction relative to theta_target, measured 150ms into the movement. Note that this is flipped based on the rotation sign so that adaptation towards the imposed visuomotor rotation is always positive.</p> <p><strong>theta_end:</strong>&nbsp;= reaching direction relative to theta_target, measured at the end of movement. Only included for Experiment 4: it is to be used for the no visual feedback blocks in Experiment 4.</p> <p>Note for&nbsp;<strong>Experiment 4</strong>: the last two blocks (last 114 trials) were done on day 2.</p>
