As long as we only focus on kinematics, rhythmic movement appears to be a concatenation of discrete movements or discrete movement appears to be a truncated rhythmic movement. However, whether or not the neural control processes of discrete and rhythmic movements are distinct has not yet been clearly understood. Here, we address this issue by examining the motor learning transfer between these two types of movements testing the hypothesis that distinct neural control processes should lead to distinct motor learning and transfer. First, we found that the adaptation to an altered visuomotor condition was almost fully transferred from the discrete out-and-back movements to the rhythmic out-and-back movements; however, the transfer from the rhythmic to discrete movements was very small. Second, every time a new set of rhythmic movements was started, a considerable amount of movement error reappeared in the first and the following several cycles although the error converged to a small level by the end of each set. Last, we observed that when the discrete movement training was performed with intertrial intervals longer than 4 s, a significantly larger error appeared, specifically for the second and third cycles of the subsequent rhythmic movements, despite a seemingly full transfer to the first cycle. These results provide strong behavioral evidence that different neuronal control processes are involved in the two types of movements and that discrete control processes contribute to the generation of the first cycle of the rhythmic movement.
