“It is important to note that most complex motor skills consist of sequences of movements (Diedrichsen & Kornysheva, 2015; Hikosaka, Nakamura, Sakai, & Nakahara, 2002; Willingham, 1998). To regain a lost motor skill (e.g., lost through a stroke) not only every single movement of this skill, but also its implementation as a sequence has to be relearned. The inseparable connection between learning motor skills and sequences makes the understanding of sequence learning important for clinical rehabilitation.”
