“…Retrieval corresponds to the online reenactment of this previously experienced sensorimotor pattern. Growing evidence supports this assumption and indicates that encoding, consolidation and retrieval processes rely, at least partially, on sensory and motor features of experiences [6][7][8][9]. Furthermore, this view is consistent with numerous results in cognitive neurosciences in which similar sensory cortices were found to be activated during experience and recollection of a particular episode (for a review see [10]).…”

The present study aimed to explore the contribution of the manual sensorimotor system to the memory of graspable objects. Participants in the experimental group underwent a short-term upper limb immobilization design to decrease arousal to their dominant hand. Such designs are known to elicit updating of sensorimotor representations and to hardened use of implicit motor simulation, a process that occurs when observing graspable objects. Subsequently, a free recall and a recognition task of graspable and non-graspable objects took place. We found slower recognition for graspable than for non-graspable objects in the control group, while no differences appeared for the immobilized group. Moreover, the recognition latency for graspable objects tended to be slower for the control than for the immobilized group. These results suggest that a time demanding reactivation of motor simulation is elicited when a graspable object is correctly recognized by control participants. The effect of immobilization could prevent this reactivation, leading to faster recognition. Hence, immobilization selectively affects graspable object memory, showing a close relationship with the manual sphere of the sensorimotor system. We suggest that recognition accuracy would probably be affected in cases of stronger disruption of sensorimotor arousal.

“…This result is particularly interesting for our purpose because it confirms, on the one hand, that there is a memory of the consequences of our actions (see also Brouillet et al, 2015); and on the other, that the action one takes here and now to provide an answer has an effect on memory performance. Brouillet et al (2016) investigated whether the action performed at the recovery stage, could affect memory performance. The results showed an effect of motor compatibility.…”

“…In Valid situations, expectations are satisfied, resulting in a sense of fluency. When expectations are not satisfied (i.e., Non-valid situations), it causes a sense of surprise and consequently, a fluency break (Brouillet et al, 2016; Whittlesea & Williams, 2001) that is observed by an increase in response time.…”

Spatial attention can be captured automatically by an exogenous stimulus (e.g., digital interruption), or by an endogenous stimulus (e.g., valence of the stimulus). In the present study, we investigated whether a non-perceptual characteristic (e.g., sense of fluency) has an impact on attention. To this end, we used the conceptual fluency paradigm developed by Whittlesea (1993) combined with the dot-probe task developed by MacLeod, Matthews and Tata (1986). In 3 experiments, we measured the response times for each experimental situation (i.e., Valid and Non-valid situations). At each trial, participants were presented is three consecutive displays on a screen: 1) an incomplete and predictive sentence stem 2) a pair of words, one of them was semantically compatible with the previous sentence stem, and 3) a circle appeared at the spatial location of one of the words. Then, participants had to perform a Go (i.e., a filled circle) No-go (i.e., an empty circle) task. The analysis found that response times were significantly faster when the Go stimulus appeared at the same location as the semantically compatible word (i.e., Valid situations). Overall, our results show that the sense of fluency triggers attentional capture. Thus, they replicate those of Gardner and al. (2020) using another experimental paradigm. Our finding might be helpful to better understand the consequences of digital interruptions on behavioral performance
