About

Richard Greenwood is a leading researcher in motor learning and neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on how reward and punishment feedback can enhance motor adaptation, particularly in stroke survivors. His most cited work, a 2017 study with 121 citations, demonstrates that both reward and punishment feedback significantly improve motor adaptation in stroke patients, offering a novel approach to addressing the often transient effects of traditional rehabilitation. This research builds on foundational studies in young individuals, revealing dissociable effects of reward and punishment on motor learning processes. Greenwood’s contributions are pivotal in bridging behavioral neuroscience and clinical practice, providing evidence-based strategies to boost retention of motor skills post-stroke. His work has implications for designing more effective rehabilitation protocols, potentially improving long-term outcomes for patients. With a citation count reflecting the growing interest in his findings, Greenwood is recognized for advancing our understanding of how motivational feedback can be leveraged to enhance neuroplasticity and recovery in clinical populations.
