“…As studies using PET and fMRI have shown, once an action eVect has been acquired its mere perception primes apparently associated motor structures (in the caudal supplementary motor area; Elsner et al, 2002;Melcher, Weidema, Eenshuistra, Hommel, & Gruber, 2008).…”

Ideomotor theories of human action control assume that performing a movement leads to the automatic integration of the underlying motor pattern with codes of its perceptual consequences. We studied the microgenesis of action-eVect integration by varying the mapping of action eVects upon actions from trial to trial. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that perceiving a tone repetition systematically aVects one's tendency to carry out the response that produced that tone in the previous trial, suggesting that even the unintentional production of a stimulus creates a temporary binding of that stimulus with the action that brought it about. Experiments 3 and 4 extended this Wnding in suggesting that the integration and/or retrieval of action eVects is modulated by attentional factors: Ongoing performance is more impacted by action eVects if they are salient or match the current attentional set.

“…In contrast, in the final blocks (B3 and B4), it was demonstrated an increasing of basic skills' domain and attention. In advanced stages of learning, the subjects better understanding the rules and the strategies of the task, and they can execute more automaticaly the fundamental habilities and reducing task complexity 24 . consequently, the shooter can maintain attention specifically in main shoot requirements, such as, integrate the better moment for trigger activation with the continue flow of visual and propioceptive feedback during the aim, even though minimizing intentionally the regulation of each component of the process separataly 8,13,15 .…”

-The present study aimed at investigating changes in behavior (shooting precision) and electrophysiological variables (absolute alpha power) during the motor learning of practical pistol shooting. The sample was composed of 23 healthy subjects, right-handed, male, between 18 and 20 years of age. The task consisted of four learning blocks. A One-way ANOVA with repeated measures and a post hoc analysis were employed to observe modifications on behavioral and electrophysiological measures (p<0.05). The results showed significative differences between blocks according to motor learning, and a significant improvement in shooting's accuracy from both blocks. It was observed a decrease in alpha power in all electrodes examined during task execution when compared with baseline and learning control blocks. The findings suggest that alpha power decreases as the function of the motor learning task when subjects are engaged in the motor execution.Key words: qeeG, pistol shooting, motor learning. Potência absoluta de alfa: aprendizagem motora do tiro prático de pistolaResumo -o presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar alterações nas variáveis comportamentais (precisão do tiro) e eletrofisiológicas (potência absoluta de alfa) durante o aprendizado motor do tiro prático de pistola. A amostra constituiu-se de 20 sujeitos saudáveis, destros, sexo masculino, faixa etária entre 18 e 20 anos. A tarefa consistiu de quatro blocos de aprendizagem. A análise estatística das variáveis comportamentais e eletrofisiológicas foram realizadas por meio de uma ANOVA one-way e uma análise post hoc (p<0,05). os resultados demonstraram diferenças significativas entre os blocos em função do aprendizado motor, bem como uma sensível melhora na precisão do tiro de ambos os blocos. Foi observada uma diminuição na potência de alfa em todos os eletrodos analisados durante a execução da tarefa, quando comparados aos blocos de linha de base e controle da aprendizagem. os achados sugerem que a potência em alfa diminui devido o aprendizado motor quando sujeitos estão engajados na execução de uma tarefa motora complexa.PAlAvrAs-chAve: eeGq, tiro de pistola, aprendizagem motora.

“…These and related observations from brain-imaging studies (Elsner et al, 2002;Melcher, Weidema, Eenshuistra, Hommel, and Gruber, 2008 and studies on action-effect learning in children (Eenshuistra, Weidema, & Hommel, 2004) have provided ample evidence suggesting that it makes sense to assume that perceiving an action-effect sequence results in the integration of action-related and effect-related codes. However, what is less clear is on what sort of codes the hypothesized integration process operate.…”

“…Further evidence has been provided by Elsner et al (2002) and Melcher et al (2008) who showed that the mere perception of auditory stimuli that previously had been presented as effect tones of certain actions results in the activation of neural structures that are selectively activated with voluntary but not stimulus-driven actions. Moreover, Kunde (2004) observed response priming by visual stimuli formerly presented as action effects although the prime stimuli were masked during the test phase and thus could not be consciously identified.…”

The last decade has seen a proliferation of empirical studies that seek to understand how the cognitive system links voluntary motor actions with their perceptual effects. A view that has found considerable support in this research is the ideo-motor approach to action control which holds that actors select, initiate, and execute a movement by activating anticipatory codes of the movement's sensory effects We, first review the empirical evidence from different paradigms showing that effects of voluntary actions become anticipated during response production. In a second step we survey empirical data investigating the nature of the mechanisms that link voluntary motor actions with their intended and expected perceptual effects. We argue that the integration, or binding, of perceptual and motor codes occurs in action planning where features of intended effects are selectively bound to features of the actions that are selected to achieve these effects in the environment. As a final step we will summarize empirical findings that may elucidate the particular roles of effect-code activation in response production and control.
