“…As a starting point for this research, I took into account the data from my own previous studies (Vilchez & Tornay, 2012) regarding the key role of the contextual meaning of cues in the effect produced on movement; Lee's (1999) results and his demonstration of nonsignificant differences between exogenous and endogenous attentional capture on their effects on movement; and the different manners of representation of obligation and prohibition (Castro et al, 2008) to explain differential effects in the processing of directional endogenous cues. By using an endogenous cue with directional meaning, I wanted to change the meaning of the cue used for my previous works and, therefore, the effect on movement already found (Vilchez & Tornay, 2012)-following the Meaning-Dependent Response Activation Model (Vilchez, 2013) and using a continuous and close-to-real-driving tracking task.…”

“…In previous studies (Vilchez & Tornay, 2012), a tracking task was used where a stimulus (exogenous cue) was presented as a distractor randomly in time, on the screen, while participants followed the center of a simulated road. It was found that this unpredictable stimulus presentation causes a positional repulsive effect (i.e., the participant veers away significantly from the place where the stimulus is presented-taking as reference point the center of the road).…”

Effects of Mental Footnotes on the Trajectory Movement in a Driving Simulation Task

A number of experimental results about the influence of attention on movement have been explained by theoretical models based on neuronal movement codification. These models have been recently questioned by findings that prove that the kind of influence on movement of the same attentional cue-with a supposedly similar neuronal codification-depends on their contextual significance. This research focused on this meaning dependency using endogenous cues that require a mental representation of directions, that is to say, representation of the way to take. To this end, obligation and prohibition traffic signs to indicate two possible route options during a tracking task were selected. The author found that participants tend to deviate from the direction of the movement mentally represented-an effect dubbed semantic repulsion.

“…However, Vilchez and Tornay (2012) showed that the effect of attentional cues on trajectory movement is explained by their meaning. This meaning of cues has been proven to be also modulated by the presentation setting (e.g.…”

“…This mechanism has been proposed to be efficient but not entirely effective (e.g. Vilchez and Tornay 2012). Continuous tasks, such as the tracking task (see Wickens and Hollands, 2000 for a review), are sensitive at assessing, upon movement, the lack of inhibitory effectiveness of our cognitive system.…”

A b s t r a c tAim of the study: The present study tests the effect of the attention to emotional content on movement trajectory. Methods: Pictures with positive and negative valence were presented on both sides of a simulated road in a driving-simulation tracking task for a series of two experiments for a total of 28 participants. Results: Both the approach and withdrawal effects toward/from the position in which emotional cues appeared have been found on the participants' trajectory. In contrast to previous literature and common-sense hypotheses, these effects depended on the picture-presentation setting more than on their emotional valence. Some predictions in the literature pointed to finding approach movements for positive pictures and withdrawal behaviours for negative valences. In this sense, only negative pictures presented in close positions on the left-side of the road have been found to provoke approach tendencies. Conclusions: The "emotional", right hemisphere processed picture presentations on the left side. Since it is impossible to select negative emotional pictures that do not have high emotional arousal, results point out to pictures arousal as the cause of the effects found. These findings are discussed under the perspectives of hemisphere laterality and models of motor control. The present study supports the MDRA model in its premise about how context can modify the meanings of attentional cues and, in turn, their impact on movement programming.

Mice move smoothly: irrelevant object variation affects perception, but not computer mouse actions

Human-Computer Interactions pose special demands on the motor system, especially regarding the virtual tool transformations underlying typical mouse movements. We investigated whether such virtual tool-transformed movements are similarly resistant to irrelevant variation of a target object as skilled natural movements are. Results show that such irrelevant information deteriorates performance in perceptual tasks, whereas movement parameters remain unaffected, suggesting that the control of virtual tools draws on the same mechanisms as natural actions do. The results are discussed in terms of their practical utility and recent findings investigating unskilled and transformed movements in the framework of the action/perception model and the integration of tools into the body schema.
