The Benefits of Training With a Metronome
The regular cadence of the tone of the metronome and the fact that you are anchoring your movements to some external force seems to accelerate the plasticity and the acquisition of skills beyond what it would be if you just did the same number of repetitions without that outside pressure. Additionally, increasing the number of repetitions per unit of time helps in training the central pattern generators to operate at that higher speed.

Summary
Using a metronome while practicing a skill can increase the acquisition of the skill and plasticity beyond the effects of practicing without it. It helps anchor movements to an external cue and quickens the process of skill acquisition.

By increasing the number of repetitions or using a metronome to increase speed during exercise, you are training the central pattern generators to operate at a higher speed which can lead to expanded range and better engagement of different central pattern generators for achieving maximal speeds.

The cerebellum pays close attention to the movement of our eyes in space, particularly as we pitch, roll, and yaw.

Summary
The cerebellum pays close attention to the movement of our eyes in space, particularly as we pitch, roll, and yaw. By taking in sensory input from our eyes, it keeps track of what we're looking at and where our eyes are situated.
