{"pk":26293,"title":"Feature Overlap in Action Sequence","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This study determined if features of an action plan held in\nworking memory are activated to the same extent (consistent\nwith serial memory theories) or in a gradient (consistent with\ntheories that assume serial order is imposed prior to response\nselection). Two visual events (A and B) occurred in a\nsequence. Participants planned an action (3-finger, key\nsequence) to the first event (Action A) and maintained this\naction in working memory while executing a speeded\nresponse (1-finger key-press) to the second event (Action B).\nAfterwards, participants executed Action A. We manipulated\nwhether Action B overlapped with the first, second or final\nfeature of Action A, and examined the pattern of correct,\nAction B RTs at the different overlap locations by finger\n(index, middle, ring), as well as the error rates of both Action\nA and Action B. Results indicate that 3-finger sequences\nwere not activated equally or in a gradient. Instead, feature\nactivation reflected a serial position curve or a reverse serial\nposition curve dependent on finger.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"feature overlap"},{"word":"cognitive interference"},{"word":"action\nplanning"},{"word":"partial repetition costs"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8s03f258","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Alexandra","middle_name":"M.","last_name":"Stubblefield","name_suffix":"","institution":"Washington State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Lisa","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Fournier","name_suffix":"","institution":"Washington State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26293/galley/15929/download/"}]}
