PML 2 Flashcards
What is the Incommensurability problem of perception and action according to Prinz?
Sensory and motor codes do not directly map. You need a translation device
What is the solution of the Incommensurability problem according to Prinz?
An extra level of representation
What is the common coding approach?
An extra level of representation. Internal processes that are involved in perception and action overlap
End the sentence:
movements are represented in terms of their
effects
Is the common coding approach a representational or non-representational theory?
representational
What is the action-induction paradigm?
examines how perception enhances action because of their similarity
What is the action-effect principle?
actions are planned in terms of their sensory consequencecs (sensory codes)
what is the Simon effect?
Action is faster when the action and perception locations correspond –> share spatial codes
Interference paradigm
perception and action may conflict. They use the same codes at the same time
Inverted compability effect
Occurs in the interference paradigm.
If perception is needed during the production of action then perception will interference with action
Motor familarity hypothesis
you are better in anticipating an action that you can perform by yourself
Observational learning
perception of action helps production of action
Actions are coded in terms of their…
effects
External focus of attention
focus towards the effect or outcomes of the movement
why does motor expertise supports perception?
mirror system activation is larger for perception of familiar than unfamiliar actions.
Modeling
learners improve motor behaviour by watching others performing the action
Positive self review
watch your best video performance
feedforward
striving towards unachieved higher performance level
Internal focus
Focus on the movement pattern
External focus
Focus on the effects of the movement
What does Wulf say about feedback and learning?
Feedback directs attention rather then providing information
Promotes external focus
Sensory codes (3)
-Afference
-Perception
-Information from the body to the brain
Motor codes
-Efference
-Action
-Information from the brain to the body
Action understanding
ability to understand another person’s behavior
