“…Accordingly, it seems to be reasonable to characterize the dorsal channel as a sensorimotor pathway and the ventral channel as (a part of) a perception-action system (Glover 2004;Hommel et al 2001b). Consistent with this claim, recent studies were able to demonstrate that action planning is affected by cognitive illusions (Glover 2002;Glover and Dixon 2001;Kerzel et al 2001) and semantic interference (Glover and Dixon 2002), while action execution is not.…”

Perceptual processes play a central role in the planning and control of human voluntary action. Indeed, planning an action is a sensorimotor process operating on sensorimotor units, a process that is based on anticipations of perceptual action effects. I discuss how the underlying sensorimotor units emerge, and how they can be employed to tailor action plans to the goals at hand. I also discuss how even a single action can induce sensorimotor binding, how intentionally implemented short-term associations between stimuli and responses become autonomous, how feature overlap between stimulus events and actions makes them compatible, and why action plans are necessarily incomplete.

“…Although the effect of contextual frames is well documented in spatial representation (Burgess, 2006;Kerzel, Hommel, & Bekkering, 2001;Mou, McNamara, Valiquette, & Rump, 2004;Wang & Spelke, 2002;Witkin & Asch, 1948), such effect has been typically confined to spatial tasks, with seemingly no relevance to object perception (e.g., Zhou, Liu, Zhang, & Zhang, 2012). For instance, coding of locations can be influenced by contextual frames through a biased egocentric midline, known as the induced Roelofs effect (Bridgeman et al, 1997;Dassonville, Bridgeman, Kaur Bala, Thiem, & Sampanes, 2004;Roelofs, 1935).…”

Automatic frame-centered object representation and integration revealed by iconic memory, visual priming, and backward masking

Object identities ("what") and their spatial locations ("where") are processed in distinct pathways in the visual system, raising the question of how the what and where information is integrated. Because of object motions and eye movements, the retina-based representations are unstable, necessitating nonretinotopic representation and integration. A potential mechanism is to code and update objects according to their reference frames (i.e., frame-centered representation and integration). To isolate frame-centered processes, in a frame-to-frame apparent motion configuration, we (a) presented two preceding or trailing objects on the same frame, equidistant from the target on the other frame, to control for object-based (frame-based) effect and space-based effect, and (b) manipulated the target's relative location within its frame to probe frame-centered effect. We show that iconic memory, visual priming, and backward masking depend on objects' relative frame locations, orthogonal of the retinotopic coordinate. These findings not only reveal that iconic memory, visual priming, and backward masking can be nonretinotopic but also demonstrate that these processes are automatically constrained by contextual frames through a frame-centered mechanism. Thus, object representation is robustly and automatically coupled to its reference frame and continuously being updated through a frame-centered, location-specific mechanism. These findings lead to an object cabinet framework, in which objects ("files") within the reference frame ("cabinet") are orderly coded relative to the frame.

“…Thus, the absence of the Simon effect with smooth motion was interpreted as supporting the attention-shifting account of the Simon effect. However, Kerzel, Hommel, and Bekkering (2001) showed that the Simon effect does not depend on the preparation of saccadic eye movements or attention shifts: In their study a reliable Simon effect occurred to the direction of illusory motion of a stationary target induced by smoothly moving a large frame surrounding the target.…”

Five experiments were carried out to test whether (task-irrelevant) motion information provided by a stimulus changing its position over time would affect manual left-right responses. So far, some studies reported direction-based Simon effects whereas others did not. In Experiment 1a, a reliable direction-based effect occurred, which was not modulated by the response mode--that is, by whether participants responded by pressing one of two keys or more dynamically by moving a stylus in a certain direction. Experiments 1a, 1b, and 2 lend support to the idea that observers use the starting position of target motion as a reference for spatial coding. That is, observers might process object motion as a shift of position relative to the starting position and not as directional information. The dominance of relative position coding could also be shown in Experiment 3, in which relative position was pitted against motion direction by presenting a static and dynamic stimulus at the same time. Additionally, we explored the role of eye movements in stimulus-response compatibility and showed in Experiments 1b and 3a that the execution or preparation of saccadic eye movements--as proposed by an attention-shifting account--is not necessary for a Simon effect to occur.
