Conflict in the kitchen: Contextual modulation of responsiveness to affordances

Reads0

TLDR
A faster response to context congruent objects demonstrated that the direct surrounding is able to affect responsiveness to affordances, and an enhanced N2 Event Related Potential (ERP) component evoked greater response conflict when responses needed to be withheld.

Making Sense of Real-World Scenes.

TL;DR: It is argued that for a complete view of scene understanding, it is necessary to account for both differing observer goals and the contribution of diverse scene properties.

Sure I'm Sure: Prefrontal Oscillations Support Metacognitive Monitoring of Decision Making

TL;DR: This study investigated the relationship between metacognitive performance and first-order task performance by recording EEG signals while participants were asked to make a “diagnosis” after seeing a sample of fictitious patient data, and found that the contribution of sensory evidence differs between first- and second-order decision making.

Affordances, context and sociality

TL;DR: This contribution will outline and discuss recent perspectives and evidence that reveal the flexibility and context-dependency of affordances, clarifying how they are modulated by the physical, cultural and social context.

From Affordances to Abstract Words: The Flexibility of the Sensorimotor Grounding

TL;DR: It is shown that the sensorimotor system provides a grounding basis not only for objects and concrete words but also for more abstract and concrete ones, and its role can be integrated and flanked by that of other systems, like the linguistic one, as studies on abstract concepts clearly show.
Journal ArticleDOI

Action information contributes to metacognitive decision-making.

TL;DR: Results from three experiments demonstrate that metacognitive performance improved when first-order action information was available at the moment metac cognitive decisions about the perceptual task had to be provided, and was accompanied by enhanced functional connectivity between motor areas and prefrontal regions.

The Neural Basis of Decision Making

TL;DR: This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.

On the Ability to Inhibit Thought and Action: A Theory of an Act of Control

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of the inhibition of thought and action to account for people's performance in situations with explicit stop signals, and apply it to several sets of data.

Visual objects in context

TL;DR: Building on previous findings, the knowledge that is available is reviewed, specific mechanisms for the contextual facilitation of object recognition are proposed, and important open questions are highlighted.

Neural Mechanisms for Interacting with a World Full of Action Choices

TL;DR: An ethologically-inspired view of interactive behavior as simultaneous processes that specify potential motor actions and select between them is discussed, and how recent neurophysiological data from diverse cortical and subcortical regions appear more compatible with this parallel view than with the classical view of serial information processing stages.

Electrophysiological correlates of anterior cingulate function in a go/no-go task: Effects of response conflict and trial type frequency

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the view that the N2 in go/no-go tasks reflects conflict arising from competition between the execution and the inhibition of a single response, and suggest previous conceptions of the no-go N2 as indexing response inhibition may be in need of revision.
