Differential impacts of energetic reward and penalty on arm choice
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: We report that imposing an energetic penalty on the nontarget arm may have a greater impact on arm choice than applying an energetic reward to the targeted arm. A training strategy to promote more-impaired arm choice by imposing an energetic penalty on the less-impaired arm could be effective in reversing its learned nonuse for individuals affected by neurological disorders.
