Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether giving people with Parkinson's disease more control over their learning experience helps them learn motor skills better. Researchers will compare two groups: one where participants choose when to receive feedback on their finger movements, and another where feedback is given without their input. The study measures not just how well people learn, but also their motivation, how their brain processes information, and changes in brain activity.
People with Parkinson's disease often struggle with learning new motor movements. This study explores whether letting patients have more control and choice in their practice—a principle called autonomy—might improve learning better than traditional methods where feedback is simply given to them.

You would visit the research center to learn a finger-pressing task on a keyboard or similar device. Half of participants will have the choice to decide when they receive feedback on their performance, while the other half will receive feedback on a predetermined schedule. You'll return the next day and again one week later for follow-up assessments. The study will also measure your brain activity using a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique, and you'll complete brief questionnaires about your motivation.
