“…This finding was also true for both forced-and free-choice tasks to the same degree (see also, e.g., Pfister & Kunde, 2013). This substantiates the increasing evidence that effect anticipation is a ubiquitous feature of both tasks, and is not restricted to free-choice tasks or intention-based action modes, as envisaged by, for example, Herwig et al (2007).…”

“…In particular, it has been suggested that action effects and anticipatory mechanisms may not play a role at all in so-called forced-choice tasks-that is, tasks in which certain stimuli determine the one and only correct response (e.g., Herwig, Prinz, & Waszak, 2007). In contrast, a free-choice task-that is, one in which a certain stimulus asks the participant to choose between two equally appropriate responses (Berlyne, 1957)-induces an "intention-based action control mode" wherein effect anticipations do play a role.…”

Action selection by temporally distal goal states

In line with ideomotor theory, numerous responseeffect compatibility (REC) studies have revealed evidence that action effects are anticipated prior to action initiation, as indicated by an REC effect: For example, a response is given faster when its effect occurs on the same rather than on the opposite side. So far, REC studies have only investigated immediate effects-that is, effects occurring immediately after the response is given. However, it may be argued that in everyday life many actions cause effects that do not occur immediately. Additionally, because actions can have more than one effect, desired effects occurring in the future may only be arrived at if fundamental effects are achieved first. In the present study, we investigated whether temporally more distal effects are anticipated in order to initiate actions, and how multiple, serially occurring effects are represented. To this end, a spatial REC paradigm was extended in such a way that a first, immediate effect (i.e., immediately following the response; E1) was followed 500 ms later by another visual effect (E2). An REC effect was only observed for the temporally more distal E2, and this result suggests that temporally more distal effects can also be anticipated during action selection.

“…This feedback serves two purposes. First, movement features in long-term memory may be activated via the representation of the intended sensory feedback (Herwig, Prinz, & Waszak, 2007;Hommel, Müsseler, Aschersleben, & Prinz, 2001). Second, the expected feedback allows ongoing movements to be monitored for errors and, in the case of relatively slow movements, to correct these movements (Adams, 1971).…”

“…If participants prepare to respond to a stimulus (i.e., in the so-called stimulus-based or externally guided mode; Herwig et al, 2007;Tubau et al, 2007) they actually pass on control to the display of a limited set of stimuli. Setting this external control mode involves the advance loading of a stimulus set and of stimulus-response translation rules into short-term memory.…”

A cognitive framework for explaining serial processing and sequence execution strategies

Behavioral research has produced many taskspecific cognitive models that do not say much about the underlying information-processing architecture. Such an architecture is badly needed to better understand how cognitive neuroscience can benefit from existing cognitive models. This problem is especially pertinent in the domain of sequential behavior where behavioral research suggests a diversity of cognitive processes, processing modes and representations. Inspired by decades of reaction time (RT) research with the Additive Factors Method, the Psychological Refractory Period paradigm, and the Discrete Sequence Production task, we propose the Cognitive framework for Sequential Motor Behavior (C-SMB). We argue that C-SMB accounts for cognitive models developed for a range of sequential motor tasks (like those proposed by Keele et al., Psychological Review, 110(2), 316-339, 2003; Rosenbaum et al., Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 9(1), 86-102, 1983, Journal of Memory and Language, 25, 710-725, 1986, Psychological Review, 102, 28-67, 1995 Schmidt, Psychological Review, 82(4), 225-260, 1975;Sternberg et al., 1978, Phonetica, 45, 177-197, 1988. C-SMB postulates that sequence execution can be controlled by a central processor using central-symbolic representations, and also by a motor processor using sequencespecific motor representations. On the basis of this framework, we present a classification of the sequence execution strategies that helps researchers to better understand the cognitive and neural underpinnings of serial movement behavior.

“…Changes in postural orientation can produce a change in perception of the environment [20]. These behaviors are also modulated by both intention-based and stimulus-based actions (feedforward and feedback) [9] indicative of ascending as well as descending control processes. The presence of redundant control mechanisms permits a successful outcome with response variability and task dependence.…”

Abstract. The papers that follow stem from a symposium presented at the International Society for Posture and Gait Research (ISPGR) in Seville, Spain, in July 2015. Four speakers were charged with presenting their methods of applying virtual reality (VR) technology to obtain meaningful rehabilitation outcomes. The symposium aims to explore characteristics of VR that modify mechanisms supporting motor relearning. Common impairments in posture and gait that can be modulated within virtual environments by employing motor learning concepts, including sensory augmentation and repetition, were examined. Critical overviews of VR applications that address different therapeutic objectives for improving posture and gait in individuals with neurological insult or injury were presented. A further goal was to identify approaches and efforts to bridge the gap between knowledge generation from research and knowledge uptake in clinical practice. Specific objectives of this symposium were that participants be able to: 1) identify benefits and limitations of selecting VR as an intervention tool; 2) discuss how VR relates to principles for motor relearning following neurological insult or injury; and 3) identify areas and methods for future translation of VR technology in clinical and home-based settings. Our symposium concluded that the application of VR technology in assessment, treatment, and research has yielded promising results in transferring learned cognitive and motor skills to more natural environments. VR permits the user to interact with a multidimensional and multisensory environment in real time, and offers the opportunity to provide both standardized and individualized interventions while monitoring behavior.
