Motor sequence performance improves during and between brief practice bouts (micro-online and offline gains). We compared both metrics across two groups: one exposed to an implicit motor sequence, and one not. Micro-online gains drove sequence-specific learning and positively correlated with overall skill. However, micro-offline gains were comparable between groups and did not track sequence-specific learning. We conclude that implicit motor sequence learning is driven by micro-online rather than micro-offline gains.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
