Task-relevant visual feedback uncertainty attenuates visuomotor adaptation

Motor adaptation is linked to the estimation of our actions. Whereas uncertainty of task-irrelevant visual feedback appears not to influence implicit adaptation for errors beyond a certain size, here we tested whether this is still the case for task-relevant feedback. We show that implicit adaptation is attenuated when task-relevant visual feedback is uncertain, suggesting a dependency on the assessment of not just sensory prediction errors but also target errors.
