{"pk":24363,"title":"Your intentions matter: The selection of an orthogonal feature of an intended object influences attentional control.","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The ability to act purposefully demands formulating intentions in the form of mental representation of actions required to achieve a purpose. Goal-directed behavior also needs apt control of attention for its completion. Here, by using a selective attention task for stimuli presented with an intended/unintended orthogonal feature, we attempted to understand the underlying mechanisms of how our intentions to get self-chosen outcomes modulate attentional and inhibitory processes. Results show a processing advantage for intended outcomes and no disadvantage for unintended or unselected outcomes compared to a neutral outcome. The findings support the role of intention in monitoring and control of action outcomes, as suggested by the dynamic theory of intention.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Psychology; Action; Attention; Perception; Computer-based experiment"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5vh292f0","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Niteesh","middle_name":"","last_name":"Deep Sharma","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur","department":""},{"first_name":"Devpriya","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kumar","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indian Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Narayanan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Srinivasan","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indian Institute of Technology","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-02T02:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24363/galley/13960/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24363/galley/21755/download/"}]}
