The phenomenon of “learning to learn” is being investigated in relation to cognition, perception, and action. The actual phrase “learning to learn” simply means learning in a facilitated way. For example, the facilitated way in this instance is a specific set of examples that have consequences. The way we act has consequences, like if we steal something; a form of punishment is on the horizon. Essentially, the sensory motor system has to adapt to different environments. This article reveals the following, “We review studies demonstrating that common features of variable environments are extracted during sensorimotor learning and exploited for different adaptation in novel tasks.” In conclusion, the article informs us “structure learning plays a fundamental role in skill learning and may underlie the unsurpassed flexibility and adaptability of the motor system.”

This article has to do with scientific research in relation to learning mixed with adaptability, flexibility, and sensory motor systems.
