Skill acquisition of motor learning between virtual environments (VEs) and real environments (REs) may be related. Although studies have previously examined the transfer of motor learning in VEs and REs through the same tasks, only a small number of studies have focused on studying the transfer of motor learning in VEs and REs by using different tasks. Thus, detailed effects of the transfer of motor skills between VEs and REs remain controversial. Here, we investigated the transfer of sequential motor learning between VEs and REs conditions. Twenty-seven healthy volunteers performed two types of sequential motor learning tasks; a visually cued button-press task in RE (RE task) and a virtual reaching task in VE (VE task). Participants were randomly assigned to two groups in the task order; the first group was RE task followed by VE task and the second group was VE task followed by RE task. Subsequently, the response time in RE task and VE task was compared between the two groups respectively. The results showed that the sequential reaching task in VEs was facilitated after the sequential finger task in REs. These findings suggested that the sequential reaching task in VEs can be facilitated by a motor learning task comprising the same sequential finger task in REs, even when a different task is applied.

顺序运动学习从真实环境转移到虚拟环境

虚拟环境 (VE) 和真实环境 (RE) 之间运动学习的技能获取可能是相关的。虽然之前的研究已经通过相同的任务检查了 VE 和 RE 中运动学习的迁移，但只有少数研究专注于通过使用不同的任务来研究 VE 和 RE 中运动学习的迁移。因此，VE 和 RE 之间运动技能转移的详细影响仍然存在争议。在这里，我们研究了 VE 和 RE 条件之间顺序运动学习的转移。27 名健康志愿者执行了两种类型的连续运动学习任务；RE 中的视觉提示按钮按下任务（RE 任务）和 VE 中的虚拟到达任务（VE 任务）。参与者按照任务顺序被随机分配到两组；第一组是 RE 任务，然后是 VE 任务，第二组是 VE 任务，然后是 RE 任务。随后，分别比较了两组在RE任务和VE任务中的响应时间。结果表明，在 RE 中的顺序手指任务之后，VE 中的顺序到达任务得到了促进。这些发现表明，即使在应用不同的任务时，包括 RE 中相同顺序手指任务的运动学习任务也可以促进 VE 中的顺序到达任务。
