The study of motor learning focuses on the performance of motor skills and the enhancement of learned or highly experiences motor skills. Physical and cognitive characteristics of the person performing the skill. Researchers who study motor learning will study behaviour (motor skill performance) to draw conclusions about neurophysiological mechanism that are responsible for the behaviour. These researchers will study the central and peripheral nervous system and how they interact with muscles involved in performing a motor skill. Skills can be physical (playing the piano) or cognitive (doing math problems) Actions and motor skills are used interchangeable in motor learning. Characteristics that are common to motor skills: Although actual movement may differ the essence of the motor skill generally stays the same. Different movements can accomplisht the same action goal.
