Unlearning how to ride the normal bicycle. Evidence from Experiments 1 and 2. The number of attempts to ride the normal bicycle shows an inverted U shape as a function of the cumulative distance in tests up to Day 5 (A) and Day 9 (B) (Experiment 1). (C) Number of attempts to ride the normal bicycle in Day 5 and Day 9 for all three groups. Note how, despite not being able to ride the reversed bicycle (Fig. 2A, last row), four out of five Slow Learners could not ride the normal bicycle at the end of practice with the reversed bicycle, as shown by the increase in the number of attempts from Day 5 to Day 9 (Experiment 1). (D,E) The Fast learners show larger oscillations amplitude (D) and power (E) on the normal bicycle at the end of practice than before practice (Experiment 1). (F) The four Experienced riders (E1-4) also show greater power in oscillations at low frequencies on the normal bicycle (Experiment 2) than the 10 Novices (Ss) on the normal bicycle on DAY 1 (Experiment 1).
