The course of adaptation and its neural basis have been investigated using a robotic arm that can change force while reaching, and by using a prism that can shift the visual field horizontally to left/right. The former process is known as ‘force-field adaptation’, where the main types of feedback are visual and proprioceptive feedback, and the latter is known as ‘prism adaptation’, where visual feedback is considered to be the main feedback. Previous force-field adaptation studies have shown that the interval between each reaching should be around 1 sec to allow full and efficient use of feedback information, but the optimum interval has not yet been examined in prism adaptation. To examine whether or not the difference in reaching interval is also affected efficiency in prism adaptation, we developed a different setup from that used in the ordinary experiments, which enabled shorter (< 1 sec) interval of reaching in prism adaptation. Although both > 1 sec and < 1 sec interval of reaching showed clear prism adaptation, significantly faster adaptation was observed when there was > 1 sec interval of reaching. This result is consistent with those in force-field adaptation studies. Further investigation using an approximately 1 sec interval of reaching in prism adaptation would be comparable with that in force-field adaptation., ORIGINAL ARTICLE}, title = {The effect of different reaching interval on the course of prism adaptation}, year = {2022} }
