Preventing action slows down performance in perceptual judgment / D. Quarona, M. Raffuzzi, M. Costantini, C. Sinigaglia. - In: EXPERIMENTAL BRAIN RESEARCH. - ISSN 0014-4819. - 238:12(2020 Dec), pp. 2857-2864. [10.1007/s00221-020-05948-y]
Abstract:
Action and vision are known to be tightly coupled with each other. In a previous study, we found that repeatedly grasping an object without any visual feedback might result in a perceptual aftereffect when the object was visually presented in the context of a perceptual judgement task. In this study, we explored whether and how such an effect could be modulated by presenting the object behind a transparent barrier. Our conjecture was that if perceptual judgment relies, in part at least, on the same processes and representations as those involved in action, then one should expect to find a slowdown in judgment performance when the target object looks to be out of reach. And this was what we actually found. This indicates that not only acting upon an object but also being prevented from acting upon it can affect how the object is perceptually judged.
