Abstract

Observation of another person executing an action primes the same action in the observer's motor system. Recent evidence has shown that these priming effects are flexible, where training of new associations, such as making a foot response when viewing a moving hand, can reduce standard action priming effects (Gillmeister, Catmur, Liepelt, Brass, & Heyes, 2008). Previously, these effects were obtained after explicit learning tasks in which the trained action was cued by the content of a visual stimulus. Here we report similar learning processes in an implicit task in which the participant's action is self-selected, and subsequent visual effects are determined by the nature of that action. Importantly, we show that these learning processes are specific to associations between actions and viewed body parts, in that incompatible spatial training did not influence body part or spatial priming effects. Our results are consistent with models of visuomotor learning that place particular emphasis on the repeated experience of watching oneself perform an action.

  • A recent study by Wiggett, Hudson, Tipper, and Downing (2011) reveals a dissociation between the ability to learn incompatible associations between actions and human movements and the inability to learn incompatible associations between actions and spatial relations.

    “Likewise, a recent study by Wiggett, Hudson, Tipper, and Downing (2011) reveals a dissociation between the ability to learn incompatible associations between actions and human movements and the inability to learn incompatible associations between actions and spatial relations.”

  • It does not necessarily follow that all S-R associations share the same connection strength, are modified equally by learning and experience, or interact with the response in the same way.

    “It does not necessarily follow, however, that all S-R associations share the same connection strength, are modified equally by learning and experience, or interact with the response in the same way (Wiggett et al., 2011).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
