Contextual inference accounts for differences in motor learning under distinct curricula

Understanding how the brain continuously learns and maintains memories is a challenging problem. Sensorimotor learning provided a rich quantitative framework for approaching this question. Here we build on a recent theoretical model, COIN (Heald, Lengyel, and Wolpert 2021), that has been successful in unifying motor learning paradigms, to understand how training schedules affect learning of multiple memories. A classic result in motor learning (Shea and Morgan 1979) showed that training tasks A and B in a blocked order (AAABBB) results in faster learning of A and B but poorer retention than in
