{"pk":28049,"title":"Coupling Perception with Action: A Dynamic Account of the Effect of Action on Memory","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The ability to plan, inhibit, and execute motor movements are\nall necessary for achieving goal-directed behavior. These\nprocesses are closely related to memory, as perceptual input\nand memory of that input often recruit motor movements.\nUnknown, however, is how the engagement of perception-\naction processes impact the memory of objects. One such\ninteraction suggests that participants have worse memory recall\nfor stimuli which elicit inhibition of a motor response than\nstimuli which afford the execution of a motor response (Chiu\n& Egner, 2015). This effect has been explained through\ncompetition for common neural resources: allocation of\nresources toward response inhibition reduces the amount of\nresources available for memory. Alternatively, this effect could\nbe driven at the level of perception-action coupling: engaging\nand pairing the motor system with visual perception enhances\nthe memory of stimuli which elicited the motor preparation or\nresponse. To test these hypotheses, we first replicated Chiu and\nEgner (2015). In Experiment 2, we included neutral stimuli that\ndid not necessitate motor preparation processes. Memory was\nenhanced for stimuli presented in conjunction with motor\nengagement, providing evidence for an account of memory that\nis facilitated when coupled with the motor system.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"perception-action coupling; goal-directed behavior;\nmemory; go/no-go; action-induced remembering"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8g66h6qt","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kaleb","middle_name":"T","last_name":"Kinder","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Tennesse, Knoxville","department":""},{"first_name":"Aaron","middle_name":"T","last_name":"Buss","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Tennesse, Knoxville","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28049/galley/17688/download/"}]}
