“…For the secondary task, the participants button presses were and infrequently-performed button presses. This pattern of results is highly similar to that found in our previous study (Kimura & Takeda, 2014).…”

“…The action-induced modulation of visual MMN (Kimura & Takeda, 2014) was replicated, even for rule-violating events embedded in a task-irrelevant visual stimulus sequence. This result indicates that the processing of rule-violating events indexed by visual MMN can be affected by top-down control, regardless of the task-relevance of the visual stimulus sequence.…”

“…However, Kimura and Takeda (2014) They required the participants to press one button frequently and another button infrequently in random order, which produced a visual stimulus sequence consisting of rule-conforming and rule-violating stimuli at a central visual field. Frequently-performed button presses triggered rule-conforming stimuli, but occasionally rule-violating stimuli (i.e., externallygenerated rule violation, the occurrence of which cannot be expected in advance).…”

“…The present study further investigated whether or not the processing of ruleviolating events can be affected by voluntary action, even when the rule-violating events are embedded in a task-irrelevant stimulus sequence. Unlike typical visual MMN studies in which a stimulus sequence was task-irrelevant and the participants were instructed to not direct attention to the stimulus sequence (see e.g., Czigler et al, 2002Czigler et al, , 2006Kimura & Takeda, 2013, in press), Kimura and Takeda (2014) Czigler et al, 2002Czigler et al, , 2006Kimura & Takeda, 2013, in press). As a secondary task, the participants were required to press one button frequently and another button infrequently in random order.…”

“…Psychophysical demonstrations of sensory attenuation generally fit the inhibition account (see, e.g., Cardoso-Leite et al, 2010). Furthermore, the event-related potentials associated with early auditory response (e.g., Bäß, Jacobsen, & Schröger, 2008) and early visual response (e.g., Kimura & Takeda, 2014;Roussel, Hughes, & Waszak, 2014) have been found to be weaker for a learned action outcome than for a stimulus that mismatched the action outcome (see also Hughes & Waszak, 2011). Again, these findings fit the inhibition account, which assumes that action-outcome associative learning enables the inhibition of anticipated action outcomes (Miall & Wolpert, 1996).…”

Visuospatial cueing by self-caused features: Orienting of attention and action–outcome associative learning

The effect of a salient visual feature in orienting spatial attention was examined as a function of the learned association between the visual feature and the observer's action. During an initial acquisition phase, participants learned that two keypress actions consistently produced red and green visual cues. Next, in a test phase, participants' actions continued to result in singletons, but their color could be either congruent or incongruent with the learned action-color associations. Furthermore, the color singletons now functioned as valid or invalid spatial cues in a visual search, in which participants looked for a tilted line ("/" or "\") among distractors ("X"s). The results showed that an action-congruent color was more effective as a valid cue in the search task (increased benefit), but less effective as an invalid cue (reduced cost). We discuss our findings in terms of both an inhibition account and a preactivation account of action-driven sensory bias, and argue in favor of the preactivation account.

Visual mismatch negativity is unaffected by top-down prediction of the timing of deviant events

Visual mismatch negativity (VMMN) is an event-related brain potential component that is automatically elicited by infrequent (deviant) stimuli that are inserted among frequent (standard) stimuli (i.e., an oddball sequence). Although the elicitation of VMMN is basically determined in a stimulus-driven manner, it can be modulated by top-down control. In a previous study using a "patterned" oddball sequence, where deviant (D) stimuli were regularly inserted among standard (S) stimuli (i.e., repetitions of an SSSSD pattern), VMMN was largely reduced when participants noticed the SSSSD pattern and actively predicted both the identity and timing of the deviant stimuli compared to when they did not notice the SSSSD pattern and did not form such active prediction. The present study further investigated whether or not active prediction of only the timing of deviant stimuli is sufficient for the reduction of VMMN. With the patterned oddball sequence with one deviant (here, deviant stimuli were fixed throughout the block), VMMN was reduced when the participants noticed the SSSSD pattern and actively predicted both the identity and timing of deviant stimuli (i.e., replication of the previous finding). In contrast, with the patterned oddball sequence with two deviants (deviant stimuli were randomly varied between two possibilities), VMMN was not significantly reduced when the participants noticed the SSSSD pattern and actively predicted only the timing of deviant stimuli. These results suggest that active prediction of only the timing of deviant stimuli is not sufficient to reduce VMMN.
