“…Notably, these processes of action-effect binding and effect-action retrieval resembled the processes of associative memory coding and retrieval, respectively. The involvement of associative memory in intention-based action was further improved by neuroimaging studies that revealed activations in both the supplementary motor area (SMA) and the medial temporal memory system, including hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus, during either action image or execution (Elsner et al, 2002; Melcher et al, 2008, 2013; Pfister et al, 2014). …”

Age-related decreases in action are caused by neuromuscular weakness and cognitive decline. Although physical interventions have been reported to have beneficial effects on cognitive function in older adults, whether cognitive training improves action-related function remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of combined cognitive training on intention-based and stimulus-based actions in older adults using event-related potentials (ERPs). A total of 26 healthy older adults (16 in the training group and 10 in the control group) participated in the study. The training group received 16 sessions of cognitive training, including eight sessions of executive function training and eight sessions of memory strategy training. Before and after training, both groups of participants underwent cognitive assessments and ERP recordings during both the acquisition and test phases with a motor cognitive paradigm. During the acquisition phase, subjects were asked to press one of two keys, either using a self-selected (intention-based) method or based on the preceding stimulus (stimulus-based). During the test phase, subjects were asked to respond to the pre-cues with either congruent or incongruent tasks. Using ERP indices—including readiness potential, P3 and contingent negative variation to identify motor preparation, stimulus processing and interference effect, respectively—we revealed the effects of training on both intention-based and stimulus-based actions. The correlations were also computed between the improved cognitive performance and the ERP amplitudes. It was shown that the improved executive function might extend substantial benefits to both actions, whereas associative memory may be specifically related to the bidirectional action-effect association of intention-based action, although the training effect of memory was absent during the insufficient training hours. In sum, the present study provided empirical evidence demonstrating that action could benefit from cognitive training.

“…Reliable priming effects were indeed found in a variety of settings (for a review, see Shin et al, 2010). Moreover, such priming paradigms have been successfully used to study the neural basis of action-effect associations by contrasting the neural consequences of presenting former action effects as stimuli during simple RT tasks (Elsner et al, 2002;Melcher et al, 2008Melcher et al, , 2013Ku¨hn et al, 2010Ku¨hn et al, , 2011Ruge et al, 2010). These studies highlighted the hippocampus and the (pre-)supplementary motor area (SMA) as critical structures mediating response priming by former effect stimuli.…”

“…In Experiment 1, the auditory information was a high or low pitched tone that was presented only when a specific button was contacted. Presentation of the effect tone alone was hypothesized to be sufficient for activating knowledge of the response, and likely the response codes that generate the tone, because there is behavioural (e.g., Elsner & Hommel, 2001) and neurophysiological (e.g., Kohler et al, 2002;Melcher, Weidema, Eenshuistra, Hommel, & Gruber, 2008, Melcher et al, 2013 evidence indicating that response representations can be activated following the perception of similar response-contingent auditory effect information when individual tones are consistently presented following a specific response. In Experiment 2, green and blue coloured paper was placed around the base of the target locations and the auditory information was the spoken words "green" or "blue" presented when the button surrounded by the green or blue paper was contacted, respectively.…”
