{"pk":28541,"title":"Unflinching Predictions: Anticipatory Crossmodal Interactions are Unaffected bythe Current Hand Posture","subtitle":null,"abstract":"According to theories of anticipatory behavior control, actionplanning and control is realized by activating desired goalstates. From an event-predictive perspective, this activationshould focus sensorimotor processing on expected, upcomingevent boundaries. Previous studies have shown that periper-sonal hand space (PPHS) is remapped to the future hand lo-cation in a grasping task before the movement commences.Here, we investigated if the current hand posture interfereswith the anticipatory remapping of PPHS. Participants had tograsp virtual bottles from two differently oriented starting pos-tures. During the prehension, they received a vibrotactile stim-ulus on their right index finger or on their thumb, while a vi-sual stimulus appeared at the bottle, either matching the futurefinger position, or not. Participants had to name the stimu-lated finger. While the hand posture affected verbal responsetimes, the anticipatory remapping remained unchanged. Ap-parently, the predictive processes that realize the anticipatoryremapping, generalize over initial hand postures.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Event Predictive Cognition; Anticipatory Behav-ioral Control; Peripersonal Space; Virtual Reality"}],"section":"Papers with Oral Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3bv9z4qh","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Johannes","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lohmann","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Tubingen","department":""},{"first_name":"Martin","middle_name":"V.","last_name":"Butz","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Tubingen","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28541/galley/18412/download/"}]}
