Learning-performance Distinction

The "Learning-Performance Distinction" is a theoretical construct in motor learning and cognitive psychology that differentiates between the immediate, observable success of task execution (performance) and the relatively permanent, underlying changes in capability that support skilled behavior (learning), emphasizing that gains in performance do not necessarily indicate learning.
