This lecture introduces a motor control experiment that requires two participants to work together. One person acts as the experimenter, while the other is the research subject. The research subject must tap specific fingers based on colors displayed on the screen, aiming for accuracy and speed. The experimenter tracks errors made by the subject. Through multiple trials, the lecture explores how errors change over time, highlighting the impact of practicing a skill and the challenges of multitasking. The instructor prompts viewers to reflect on why errors increased when participants had to manage two tasks simultaneously.
