Abstract:

Efficient behavioral functioning requires early perceptual inhibition of irrelevant stimuli and later motor inhibition of inappropriate responses. The Perceptual and Motor Conflict Tasks were developed to differentially assess perceptual and motor inhibition, and to determine whether these processes utilize separate or shared cognitive resources. The computerized tasks include six subtests involving a box or an arrow appearing in various locations. Subjects respond by pressing a key on the left or right side of a keyboard. In different subtests, arrow direction or stimulus location determines correct responses. Perceptual inhibition assessment requires the subject to respond to a conflicting arrow direction while ignoring stimulus location. Motor inhibition assessment involves the subject responding in the direction opposite to that indicated by a centrally located arrow. In a neurologically normal sample (N = 44), reaction time analyses yielded significant Perceptual and Motor Conflict main effects, with slower performance under conflict conditions, but no significant Perceptual × Motor interaction. The lack of a significant Perceptual × Motor interaction, according to the additive factor model, indicates that these two processes utilize distinct cognitive resources. Nevertheless, performance on the two conflict tasks was significantly correlated with each other, and Perceptual Conflict performance was significantly correlated with Stroop interference.

Abstract:

Abstract We investigated the contribution of motor processes to implicit and explicit serial learning by means of event-related brain potentials. An otherwise predictable sequence of S-R pairs was occasionally interrupted by stimuli that violated either the stimulus or the response sequence (perceptual or motor deviants). After performing the task, participants were asked to recall as much of the sequence as possible. On the basis of these free recall results, two groups of subjects (explicit and implicit learners) were formed. Reaction time was prolonged for motor deviants but not for perceptual deviants, which violated the predictable sequence of stimulus locations. Early activation in the lateralized readiness potential (LRP) for standard stimuli and an activation of the expected but incorrect response for deviants violating the response sequence indicate the contribution of motor processes to serial learning. ERPs did not show any learning-related changes. Furthermore, in all dependent measures no differences between explicit and implicit learners were observed. The results are at variance with previous claims that serial learning is a purely perceptual process.

Abstract:

Learning a new movement through error-based adaptation leads to recalibration of movement and altered perception of that movement. Although presumed to be closely related, the relationship between adaptation-based motor and perceptual changes is not well understood. Here we investigated the changes in motor behavior and leg speed perception over 5 days of split-belt treadmill adaptation. We specifically wanted to know if changes in the perceptual domain would demonstrate savings-like behavior (i.e., less recalibration with more practice) and if these changes would parallel the savings observed in the motor domain. We found that the recalibration of leg speed perception decreased across days of training, indicating savings-like behavior in this domain. However, we observed that the magnitude of savings across days was different between motor and perceptual domains. These findings suggest a degree of independence between the motor and perceptual processes that occur with locomotor adaptation. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Error-based adaptation learning drives changes in movement and perception of movement. Are these changes across domains linked or simply coincidental? Here, we studied changes in movement and perception across 5 days of repeated locomotor adaptation. Savings-like behavior in the motor and perceptual domains developed with different magnitudes and over different timescales, leading us to conclude that motor and perceptual processes operate at least somewhat independently during locomotor adaptation.

Abstract:

The article focuses on sensorimotor and perceptual processes in primary school children with multiple developmental disorders. The study involved 40 children aged 9–11 with multiple developmental issues. All the participants studied at the Secondary School of Psychological and Pedagogical Support No. 101 (Kemerovo, Russia). The experiment relied on the method developed by N. I. Ozeretskiy and M. O. Gurevich as the main diagnostic tool. The method combines a set of diagnostic tasks aimed at measuring the level of motor and perceptual development in children. The experimental study also included elements of the neuropsychological approach. The authors designed and conducted a series of practice sessions on the development of sensorimotor and perceptual processes. The neuropsychological exercises developed purposeful voluntary actions with objects and materials, improved available sensory experience, increased visual-motor coordination, sharpened the ability to navigate in various physical environments, and improved body control. They facilitated the compensation of residual reflexes, as well as the development of speech and general motor rhythmization. The exercises involved orthopedic mats, massage balls, tasks on visual-motor perception and integration, Balametrics cerebellar stimulation, etc. Statistic results showed a positive trend in the sensorimotor and perceptual processes, except for complex forms of space and time perception.

Abstract:

AbstractDeficits in inhibitory abilities are frequently observed in normal aging. However, few studies have explored the generality of these deficits in a single group of participants. Here, we used an adaptation of the Simon task to differentially assess perceptual and motor inhibition using the same stimuli and task design and to determine whether these processes use separate or shared cognitive resources. We were interested in determining whether (1) normal aging is associated with the use of separate (as previously evidenced in young participants) or similar cognitive resources to perform perceptual and motor inhibition tasks; (2) older participants present a specific impairment in one of these two processes. Analyses of reaction times indicated that motor and perceptual inhibitory processes share some cognitive resources and both are impaired in normal aging. These results can be interpreted by considering that a dedifferentiation process is responsible for the inhibitory deficits presented by older participants. (JINS, 2008, 14, 1014–1021.)

Abstract:

During manually-assisted search, where participants must actively manipulate search items, it has been reported that participants will often select and move the target of search itself without recognizing it (Solman et al., 2012a). In two experiments we explore the hypothesis that this error results from a naturally-arising strategy that decouples perception and action during search, enabling motor interactions with items to outpace the speed of perceptual analysis. In Experiment 1, we report that the error is prevalent for both mouse and touch-screen interaction modes, and is uninfluenced by speeding or slowing instructions – ruling out these task-specific details as causes of the error. In Experiment 2 we manipulate motor speed, and show that reducing the speed of individual movements during search leads to a reduction in error rates. These findings support the conclusion that the error results from incoordination between motor and perceptual processes, with motor processes outpacing perceptual abilities.

Abstract:

This research programme examines how people perceive maximal reach-and grasp-ness in climbing, and as such these questions will be limited to climbing. Is experienced gained from performing daily submaximal reaching sufficient for the accurate perception of maximal horizontal reaching affordances in rock climbing? How is perception of maximal horizontal boundary of reach-and grasp-ness affected by: hold size, body position, additional load, or fatigue. How will inducing fatigue affect how a participant calibrates distance and their movement economy?

Abstract:

In the influential perception-action model, the ventral visual system of the primate brain serves to obtain knowledge of objects in the environment, while the dorsal system serves to control actions in interaction with those objects. In recent years, criticism of the model has gained momentum following reports of evidence that involvement of the two systems may not principally depend on whether observers are engaged in action or perception tasks. This thesis appraises the perception-action model over the course of five experiments that test a number of the model’s central assertions. Evidence for an alternative functional characterization of the dorsal and ventral systems is obtained. Specifically, the evidence suggests that the dorsal system can be involved in both action and perception on the basis of fast egocentric information pickup, while the ventral system can be involved in both perception and action on the basis of slower allocentric information pickup. This raises the possibility that a more fundamental distinction pertains to the characteristics of information pickup by the two systems rather than to the behavioral functions subserved. The thesis develops a stance in which involvement of the two systems in the visual guidance of behavior is dependent on their operational characteristics in combination with the constraints of the task. The proposed relevant task constraints are: (i) whether tasks allow for egocentric and/or allocentric information pickup, (ii) the amount of time that is available for information pickup in a task and, possibly, (iii) whether stimuli are located within or outside functional space (the space that affords action for an observer). Whether a task requires an immediate or a delayed response is of less importance. It is argued that while the typical requirements of perception and action tasks bring about a tight coupling between perception and the ventral system and action and the dorsal system, this coupling is not invariant; perception can involve fast egocentric information pickup and action can involve slower allocentric information pickup. The findings are discussed in the context of higher-level theories of visual perception. It is proposed that the view of the dorsal and ventral visual systems that is suggested by the findings presented in this thesis corresponds better with ecological than with constructivist approaches to visual perception.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to explore perceptual-motor differences between blind and sighted adults from a neuropsychological perspective, and to analyze differences within the blind group. Perceptual-motor abilities were examined using the Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation System (CVES), a vocational rehabilitation and neuropsychological battery designed for use with blind populations. The data were processed using Analysis of Covariance. Results showed that sighted persons had better motor abilities, while persons with blindness were more skilled at haptic identification of shape and texture. Analysis within the blind group showed that texture identification skills are better when blindness occurs earlier in life and to the extent that the blindness is total. Later onset blindness and the retention of some functional vision may not lead to a refocusing of attentional states necessary to develop haptic images. New neural connections may develop in persons with congenital/total blindness, a hypothesis in line with recent neuroradiological findings that occipital lobe activation occurs when congenitally blind individuals engage in tactile processing tasks. One implication of the findings is that teaching individuals who retain some functional vision to read Braille is probably counterproductive. These individuals would be better served by learning to use a CCTV and large print books. Future researchers should examine blindness from a multivariate perspective, examining subsets of blind groups based on age at onset, visual status, and other pertinent variables. Other implications are discussed and recommendations for future research are provided.

Abstract:

Dual-task studies have shown higher sensitivity for stimuli presented at the targets of upcoming actions. Generally, movement outcome feedback is also obtained at action targets. This thesis examined whether attention is directed to action targets for the purpose of action selection, as previously concluded, or if attention is directed to monitor feedback about movement outcomes as supported by skilled-action research. Across seven experiments, participants executed either a pointing movement (Experiments 1 – 5) or a saccade (Experiments 6 and 7), while simultaneously identifying a discrimination target ('E' or '3') among distractors (2s and 5s). Action targets were generally cued by a central arrow. Discrimination target identification accuracy measured attention allocation. Crucially, movement accuracy feedback was presented at a spatially separate location from the action target. It was found that during the planning of goal-directed actions, attention is allocated to monitor movement outcomes, even if this information is provided at a spatially separate location from the action target. Attending the separate feedback location resulted in slower reaction times and less accurate pointing. Clear and consistent perceptual enhancement was also demonstrated at the action target location, even when no intrinsic or extrinsic feedback about the action could have been gained from attending there. Specific to saccades, it was found that attention is allocated before saccade execution to both the saccade goal and to the predicted future retinal location of feedback information. Lastly, perceptual performance is greater in general when participants perform the dual-task visually open-loop, that is without visual feedback from the moving hand. These results are novel in showing that attention appears to be required for action target selection, independently of the need to monitor expected locations of feedback.

Abstract:

The relationship between perinatal complications and sensory-motor functions was examined. Information from the Maternal Perinatal Scale (MPS) was used to predict factor scores of the Dean Sensory-Motor Battery (DSMB). Participants were 187 normal nonreferred children who were administered the DSMB while their mothers completed the MPS. Using MPS items as predictors, separate stepwise regression analyses for each DSMB factor found that 11 - 16% of variance could be accounted for in sensory-motor performance. At least three MPS items significantly contributed to the prediction of each DSMB factor. Predictors of Sensory and Simple Motor functions (DSMB Factor I) included maternal bleeding during pregnancy, delay between membrane rupture (water break) and onset of labor, and evidence of hypoxia. Evidence of hypoxia, maternal bleeding during pregnancy, and delay between water break and labor onset were predictive of Motor and Complex Sensory functions (DSMB Factor II). In addition, gender of the child joined maternal bleeding during pregnancy, amount of swelling during pregnancy, and mother's height in predicting Subcortical Motor functions (DSMB Factor III). Additional analyses using a canonical correlation confirmed the results of the regression analyses. A linear composite of sensory and motor variables was primarily defined by DSMB factors I and II. The linear composite of perinatal information was defined primarily by the same items that emerged as significant predictors of sensorymotor functions in the regression analyses. Most notably, a redundancy analysis indicated that about 20% of variance in DSMB factor scores could be accounted for by a linear composite of perinatal information. In general, sensory-motor performance decreased as severity of perinatal complications increased. Results were discussed in terms of the implications of using a normal non-referred population. More importantly, the present data suggested the possibility that 1) the relationship between perinatal complications and sensory-motor functions may exist on a continuum rather than the dichotomous diagnosis/no diagnosis, and 2) the synergistic influence of multiple perinatal complications may contribute to the manifestation of clinically significant behaviors. The role of sensory-motor functions as a foundation for more complex behaviors is also discussed.

Abstract:

Examination of how the brain mediates emotional experience is now an area of significant and intense research interest. This is an important endeavour considering that emotion is a key component in vulnerability factors governing risk for mood and anxiety disorders. Recent neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies are also beginning to explore the effects of antidepressants on the processing of emotional stimuli in healthy participants to help understand the role of neurochemicals in affective behaviour more broadly. Unfortunately the literature is fraught with contradictions and complications resulting from the technique used, task instructions, selection of stimuli and gender differences. The aim of the current thesis therefore, was to investigate emotional processing in healthy participants and to examine the impact of serotonergic augmentation on this processing through the presentation of visual emotional stimuli and examination of self report, peripheral- and neurophysiological measures of emotional responsiveness. Seventy five images low in arousal content, selected from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) and categorised as pleasant, neutral and unpleasant, were presented to participants in four experimental studies. Findings support previous literature suggesting that there is substantial overlap in frontal neural circuitry when the brain processes emotional images of different valence. Gender differences in the processing of visual emotional stimuli were also observed however suggesting the need for future studies to take such factors into account. In particular, females unlike males displayed right-sided, frontal, neurophysiological activations in response to unpleasant relative to neutral images. Emotional valence was also found to modulate heart rate (HR) thereby confirming the reliability and validity of the task-viewing paradigm. Augmentation of serotonin was found to suppress any differences in HR across the three differently valenced categories of images, while neurophysiological responses were potentiated during pleasant valence but suppressed during unpleasant valence. In summary, the studies included in this thesis provide evidence for neurophysiological modulation by emotional content and gender. In addition, the studies employ a more systems-based approach to the study of antidepressant action, through examination of the neurophysiological responses to visual emotional stimuli. This approach may lead to greater understanding of the functional consequences of neurochemical modulation on cortical networks involved in emotional processing.

Abstract:

Perception seems to be an overly discussed subject in theories of Art, giving us the impression that there is nothing new to add. So much research and so many conceptions have been developed on the subject. Nevertheless, many holes can be perceived in these theories with regard to the mental process that operates in the perception phenomena. We have chosen to look to neuroscience for possible answers to these holes. In this paper, based on the knowledge of Vilayanur S. Ramachandran and António Damásio, among others, we focus on that which we are emphasizing as “perceptual processes”. We will restrict ourselves herein to the perceptual processes of a multisensory nature that take place in the perceivers' relationship with the artworks, which contain multimodal stimuli, promoted by physical and digital interfaces of an assistive nature. Said perceivers, however, are both people with severe motor and vocal disabilities as well as those without these restrictions.

Abstract:

Human movement is a complex phenomenon. For people involved in teaching motor or perceptual skills in sports, effective models of training in children are a major challenge. Topics related to learning and the development of motor or perceptual skills help people involved in learning movements (coaches, physical education teachers, kinesiologists, physiotherapists) to have a deeper knowledge of the learning processes. An attempt is made to combine theory and practice so that this chapter can be a simple but useful tool for learning, evaluation, proper guidance, planning practice, and providing simple practical approaches to make the work of professionals more effective.

Abstract:

Architects design spaces that offer perceptual cues, affordances, for our various effectivities. Lina Bo Bardi’s São Paulo Museum demonstrates how praxic and contemplative actions are interleaved—space is effective and affective. Navigation often extends beyond wayfinding to support ongoing behavior. Scripts set out the general rules for a particular kind of behavior, and may suggest places that a building must provide. Cognitive maps support wayfinding. Other maps in the brain represent sensory or motor patterns of activity. Juhani Pallasmaa’s reflections on The Thinking Hand lead into a view of how the brain mediates that thinking, modeling hand–eye coordination at two levels. The first coordinates perceptual and motor schemas. The body schema is an adaptable collage of perceptual and motor skills. The second coordinates the ventral “what” pathway that can support planning of actions, and the dorsal “how” pathway that links affordance-related details to motor control. A complementary challenge is understanding how schemas in the head relate to social schemas. Finally, the chapter compares the cognitive challenges in designing a building and in developing a computational brain model of cognitive processes.

Abstract This chapter examines how the particular relation between body and brain that has evolved in humans supports the dynamic processes discussed in the previous chapters. In the first chapter, I highlighted the motor-action controversy, and observed that the information processing metaphor treated movement as the output of a motor program organized into a command hierarchy. A more traditional chapter on the nervous system in a book on “motor” development would focus on the anatomy of the perceptual and motor systems relative to a kind of flowchart of input-output relations (e.g., Brooks, 1986; Ghez, 1985).

Abstract:

Abstract Cognitive science has brought with it a keen awareness of the difference between process and performance in humans, and forced recognition that high cognitive functions in humans (thinking, problem solving, intelligence, creativity, etc.) are not reducible to perceptual/motor or learning processes. Human performance, objective as much as subjective, is often construed by cognitive science as caused by brain processes that can be properly modeled by logico-mathematical means (computer programs, neuronal-connectionist instantiations, etc.); or, in a more idealist Galilean epistemology, as processes that literally are logico-mathematical and rulegoverned (i.e., formally equivalent to computer programs, connectionist networks, or complex electronic machines). This latter claim, often called the hard cognitive science (computer-reductionist) assumption, does literally construe humans as biological computing machines; this is the position against which I argue and for which I offer a methodological remedy.

Abstract:

Abstract In this chapter, I examine the balance between self-organization and interaction, because these two processes are central to a theory that explains the development of action systems. The issues central to this discussion include: (1) the relation between spontaneous activity (synonymous with self organization and order) and regulation, (2) the regulatory roles of perceptual input, (3) the nesting of local cycles of activity within more macroscopic temporal cyles, and (4) the emergence of novel forms, or innovations. After examining each of these issues we turn to several developmental perspectives as background for the developmental model offered here. Before addressing developmental concerns, I turn to a broader issue in the “motor coptrol” literature-namely, the distinction between “motor” and “action.”

Abstract:

Abstract Corporeal awareness refers to the experience of having a body. While this may appear self-evident given our constant daily experience of embodiment, the neuronal processes mediating this experience are nonetheless highly manifold and complex. Corporeal awareness relies on perceptual functions (e.g., tactile, proprioceptive, gravitational, visual) and on motor programs for bodily action. Yet, it also comprises a sense of the self as the object of sensory stimulation and as the agent of motor intentions and executions. Moreover, identifying with a body implies knowledge of its borders. Thus, the study of corporeal awareness includes investigations of the many functionally organized spaces for each distinct sensory and motor representation that surrounds our body. In the past, various terms have been used to capture some of the heterogeneous functions that guarantee a continuous sense of embodiment. Some of the more frequently used terms are body schema, body image, body self, somesthesis, coaenesthesia, and somatognosia. Critchley (1955/1979) complained about the fact that these terms were employed more or less interchangeably despite the fact that they had originally been introduced to designate specific facets of bodily perception and representation. He therefore proposed the deliberately less definitive term corporeal awareness as an all-encompassing descriptor of the experience of having a body.

Abstract:

For an individual standing or walking on a moving or non-moving surface, perturbations can result in postural instability and sudden loss of balance. When unexpected perturbations occur, specific mechanisms involving the sensory, cognitive, and motor systems activate in order to regain postural control. For example, specific muscle synergies can result in compensatory limb movements (e.g. stepping or reaching towards a fixed object) that are prevalent mechanical responses to sudden loss of balance and play a crucial role in preventing falls. These movements require the interaction of multiple sensory systems including the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems. If sensory information is unavailable or incomplete, there may be a greater reliance on cognitive processes such as memory and attention in order to execute a balance-recovering mechanical response; however, if cognitive processes are tasked, compensatory responses may be negatively affected. The ability to recover from sudden loss of balance is critical in preventing falls on both non-moving and moving surfaces. This review includes a discussion of the biomechanical, perceptual, and cognitive factors responsible for the control of balance recovery on moving surfaces.

Abstract:

In an effort to automate manual life science processes for high throughput and accuracy, we previously observed that perceived operator workload could be used to identify taxing tasks as targets for robotics. However, we also observed that other factors, including task time and step count, might influence workload. The objective of the present research was to determine whether technician perceptions of workload were driven by process method characteristics, specifically duration, number of steps, and numbers of motor and cognitive operations. Confirmation of influence of these characteristics on perceived workload was expected to provide further direction for automation development for specific methods. A hierarchical task analysis was prepared for a mercury analysis process and revealed various methods for accomplishing goals. Methods included sequences of operations, which were subsequently classified as perceptual, motor or cognitive in nature by using GOMS methodology (Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules). A field study was conducted with three lab technicians completing the mercury analysis process in three replications. Perceived workload for each method was collected using the NASA-Task Load index (TLX). Significant positive correlations were found between method times and operation counts determined based on GOMS models with technician overall TLX ratings. Motor, cognitive and combinations of both operator counts were also correlated with TLX physical, mental demand and effort ratings, accordingly. In general, longer duration methods, including weighing, tuning and pipetting steps, appear to pose high workload for technicians and represent priority targets for automation. Furthermore, a sequence of recollection and planning operations as part of a pipetting task posed the greatest sustained cognitive load for technicians and may represent an opportunity for use of advanced robotic technology with capacity to act as an assistant to technicians.

Abstract:

Memory for nonverbal sounds such as those used in sonifications has been recognized as a priority for cognitive-perceptual research in the field of auditory display. Yet memory processes for nonverbal sounds are not well understood, and existing theory and research have not provided a consensus on a mechanism of memory for nonverbal sounds. We report a new analysis of a qualitative question that asked participants to report the strategy they used to retain nonverbal sounds—both melodies and sounds discriminable primarily by timbre. The question was originally posed as part of the debriefing procedure for three separate memory experiments whose primary findings are reported elsewhere. Results of this new analysis suggested that auditory memory strategies — remembering acoustic properties of sounds — were common across both types of sounds but were more commonly reported for remembering melodies. Motor strategies were also more frequently reported for remembering melodies. Both verbal labeling of sounds and associative strategies — linking the sounds to existing information in memory — were more commonly reported as strategies for remembering sounds discriminable primarily by timbre. Implications for theory and future research are discussed.

Abstract:

Postural control has been defined as “regulating the body’s position in space for the dual purposes of stability and orientation.” How the body achieves postural control depends, in part, on the environment. A person navigating a non-moving surface (e.g. hallway, stairway, or step ladder) will process information and will employ different strategies to maintain postural control than someone who is standing or walking on a moving surface (e.g., forklifts, personal transportation systems, escalators, and moving walkways). In both environments, sensory, cognitive, and motor control systems contribute to postural control. The musculoskeletal system uses muscle activation and joint positioning to control the body’s alignment and muscle tone. The biomechanics of postural control rely on information that the musculoskeletal system receives from sensory systems including the vestibular system, which is generally implicated in behaviors requiring balance control, as well as the somatosensory and visual systems. Furthermore, sensory information from these and other systems can be enhanced by cognitive processes, such as attention. The ability to maintain postural control while standing or walking is critical in preventing falls on both non-moving and moving surfaces. This review focuses on moving surfaces and includes a discussion of the biomechanical, perceptual, and cognitive factors responsible for postural control.
