Learning “How to Learn”: Super Declarative Motor Learning Is Impaired in Parkinson’s Disease

<div>Time course of correctly anticipated movements (CAM) in PD patients (solid line) and normal controls (dotted line) during for SEQ1 at Day1 and SEQ2 at Day2. In PD, SEQ1 and SEQ2 are learned in a similar way, while in controls, SEQ2 is learned better, reflecting “learning how to learn.” Vertical bars report variability as standard error.</div>
