TL;DR: A new framework for a more adequate theoretical treatment of perception and action planning is proposed, in which perceptual contents and action plans are coded in a common representational medium by feature codes with distal reference, showing that the main assumptions are well supported by the data.

TL;DR: Processing robustness, a frequently overlooked aspect of processing, predicted fluid intelligence beyond processing speed in old age but not in childhood, suggesting that the causes of more compressed functional organization of intelligence differ between maturation and senescence.

TL;DR: An overview of representational models based on the idea that synchrony is established at the level of central representations and that the timing of an action is determined by the (anticipated) action effect is presented.

TL;DR: Results suggest that taps are synchronized with clicks at the central level by superimposing two sensory codes in time: the tactile/kinesthetic code that represents the tap (the afferent movement code) and the auditory code that represent the click ( the afferent code that results from the guiding signal).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied methods and theories from research of stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) to action imitation, and adopted the logic of the Simon paradigm (B. Hommel & W. Prinz, 1996) to explore interference between task-relevant symbolic stimulus features (color) and task-irrelevant iconic stimulus feature (2 hand gestures and 2 postures).
