A large meta-analysis and new experiments show that aging affects motor learning in a nuanced way: older adults perform worse in explicit, strategy-based learning but show stronger implicit, automatic recalibration. The findings suggest that sensorimotor learning does not uniformly decline with age, as some unconscious adaptation processes may remain intact or even improve. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-026-02468-7
