“…It has been shown that attention is a necessary condition for low-level sensory-motor mechanisms to be activated. For instance, in the domain of affordance perception, Tipper et al (S. Tipper et al 2006;S. P. Tipper 2010) instructed participants to report the colour of door-handles presented on a computer screen, thus focusing their attention on a non-action relevant object feature.…”

Perception of affordance is enhanced not only when that object is located in one's own peripersonal space, as compared to when it is located within extrapersonal space, but also when the object is located in another person's peripersonal space (as measured by a Spatial Alignment Effect (SAE)). It has been suggested that this reflects the existence of an Interpersonal Body Representation (IBR) that allows us to represent the perceptual states and action possibilities of others. Here, we address the question of whether IBR can be modulated by higher-level/reflective social cognition, such as judgments about one's own social status. Participants responded with either the right or the left hand as soon as a go signal appeared. The go signal screen contained a task-irrelevant stimulus consisting of a 3D scene in which a mug with a left-facing or right-facing handle was positioned on a table. The mug was positioned either inside or outside the reaching space of the participants. In a third of the trials, the mug was positioned within the reaching space of an avatar seated at the table. Prior to this task we induced an experience of social ostracism in half of the participants by means of a standardized social exclusion condition. The results were that the SAE that normally occurs when the mug is in the avatar's reaching space is extinguished by the induced social exclusion. This indicates that judgments about one's own social status modulate the effect of IBR.

“…Also in conflict with the notion of strictly automatic activation of affordances, attention to the semantic properties (e.g., goal-directed use) of the graspable objects was shown to reliably modulate the affordance effect. When the experimental task is relevant to the grasp-related potential of the perceived object, the resulting affordance effect is stronger (Creem and Proffitt, 2001;Shuch et al, 2010;Tipper, Paul, and Hayes, 2006).…”

“…However, there is an abundance of evidence that perceptual stimuli and actions can be strongly associated (Fagioli, Ferlazzo, & Hommel, 2007;Fagioli, Hommel, & Schubotz, 2007;Humphreys et al, 2010;von Cramon 2002, 2003;Tipper 2010;Tipper, Paul, & Hayes, 2006;Tucker and Ellis 1998), and can be integrated to form a single event or episode (Barsalou 2009;Hommel 2004Hommel , 2005Hommel et al, 2001;Logan 1988). According to Logan and Etherton (1994), each episode represents a specific combination of goals, stimuli, interpretations, and responses that occur together on a specific occasion.…”

“…It is argued that motor activation is induced by action words, affordances of perceptual objects, and other perceptual events because motor activation is intrinsically linked to the processing of semantics and affordances (e.g., Fagioli, Ferlazzo, & Hommel, 2007;Fagioli, Hommel, & Schubotz, 2007;von Cramon 2002, 2003;Tipper et al, 2006;Tucker and Ellis 1998). In other words, motor activation is part of the meaning or concept, regardless of whether the meaning or concept is represented by a word(s), object(s), or actions of another individual (e.g., Pulvermüller 2005;Rueschemeyer, Lindemann, Van Elk, & Bekkering, 2009), which is consistent with modal theories of memory (e.g., Barsalou 2009;Barsalou et al, 2003).…”

What makes an event: Temporal integration of stimuli or actions?

In this article, we ask what serves as the "glue" that temporarily links information to form an event in an active observer. We examined whether forming a single action event in an active observer is contingent on the temporal presentation of the stimuli (hence, on the temporal availability of the action information associated with these stimuli), or on the learned temporal execution of the actions associated with the stimuli, or on both. A partial-repetition paradigm was used to assess the boundaries of an event for which the temporal properties of the stimuli (i.e., presented either simultaneously or temporally separate) and the intended execution of the actions associated with these stimuli (i.e., executed as one, temporally integrated, response or as two temporally separate responses) were manipulated. The results showed that the temporal features of action execution determined whether one or more events were constructed; the temporal presentation of the stimuli (and hence the availability of their associated actions) did not. This suggests that the action representation, or "task goal," served as the "glue" in forming an event in an active observer. These findings emphasize the importance of action planning in event construction in an active observer.
