Effect anticipation and action control
Birgit Elsner,Bernhard Hommel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-phase model of action control is proposed, where people first acquire bidirectional associations between motor patterns and movement-contingent events and then intentionally use these associations for goal-directed action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contiguity and contingency in action-effect learning
Birgit Elsner,Bernhard Hommel +1 more
TL;DR: Findings support the assumption that the control of voluntary actions is based on action-effect representations that are acquired by associative learning mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking Actions and Their Perceivable Consequences in the Human Brain
Birgit Elsner,Bernhard Hommel,Claudia Mentschel,Alexander Drzezga,Wolfgang Prinz,Bastian Conrad,Hartwig R. Siebner,Hartwig R. Siebner +7 more
TL;DR: The caudal supplementary motor area and the right hippocampus increased their activity with the frequency of action-effect tones, suggesting that both cortical areas play a role in linking the consequences of an action and the action itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infants' imitation of goal-directed actions: the role of movements and action effects.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the capability to learn relations between movements and action effects by observation, and the knowledge about movement-effect relations acquired so far, may be important factors underlying the developmental changes in infants' imitation of goal-directed actions.
