  • Age(ncy) differences: Age-related changes in the use of sense of agency cues

    Open AccessVictoria K E Bart, Martina RiegerARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2026

  • Learning motor actions via imagery—perceptual or motor learning

    Open AccessCornelia Frank, Sarah N Kraeutner et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2024

    It is well accepted that repeatedly imagining oneself acting without any overt behavior can lead to learning. The prominent theory accounting for why imagery practice is effective, motor simulation theory, posits that imagined action and overt action are functionally equivalent, the exception being activation of the end effector. If, as motor simulation theory states, one can compile the goal, plan, motor program and outcome of an action during i…

  • A theoretical perspective on action consequences in action imagery: Internal prediction as an essential mechanism to detect errors

    Open AccessMartina Rieger, Shaun G Boe et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2024

    Acting in the environment results in both intended and unintended consequences. Action consequences provide feedback about the adequacy of actions while they are in progress and when they are completed and therefore contribute to monitoring actions, facilitate error detection, and are crucial for motor learning. In action imagery, no actual action takes place, and consequently, no actual action consequences are produced. However, imagined action …

  • The multisensory nature of human action imagery

    Open AccessBritta Krüger, Mathias Hegele et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2024

    Imagination can appeal to all our senses and may, therefore, manifest in very different qualities (e.g., visual, tactile, proprioceptive, or kinesthetic). One line of research addresses action imagery that refers to a process by which people imagine the execution of an action without actual body movements. In action imagery, visual and kinesthetic aspects of the imagined action are particularly important. However, other sensory modalities may als…

  • When time does not matter: Cultures differ in their use of temporal cues to infer agency over action effects

    Open AccessVictoria K E Bart, Erdenechimeg Sharavdorj et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2024

    Sense of agency (SoA) is the sense of having control over one’s own actions and through them events in the outside world. Sometimes temporal cues, that is temporal contiguity between action and effect, or temporal expectation regarding the occurrence of the effect are used to infer whether one has agency over an effect. This has mainly been investigated in Western cultures. However, Western and Eastern cultures differ in their time concepts and t…

  • Improvement by imagining actions: Bimanual transfer effects after action imagery practice in a sequential reaction time task

  • What shall I do? Similarities and differences in moral judgements between Austrian and Mongolian students

    Open AccessVictoria K E Bart, Erdenechimeg Sharavdorj et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Cognitive…2024References: 96

    Cross-cultural research in moral judgements (e.g., whether to sacrifice one person to save several others) often focuses on differences regarding the instrumentality of harm, i.e., whether the death of one person is an instrument to save several others (instrumental) or is an incidental side-effect (incidental). Less cross-cultural research exists on differences regarding one's own involvement, i.e., whether one's own life or only the life of oth…

  • Sequence representations after action-imagery practice of one-finger movements are effector-independent

    Open AccessStephan F Dahm, Matthias Weigelt et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2023

    Action-imagery practice (AIP) is often less effective than action-execution practice (AEP). We investigated whether this is due to a different time course of learning of different types of sequence representations in AIP and AEP. Participants learned to sequentially move with one finger to ten targets, which were visible the whole time. All six sessions started with a test. In the first four sessions, participants performed AIP, AEP, or control-p…

  • Inhibitory mechanisms in motor imagery: Disentangling different forms of inhibition using action mode switching

    Open AccessVictoria K E Bart, Iring Koch et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2021

  • Inhibitory after-effects in the stop signal paradigm

    Open AccessMartina Rieger, Siegfried GauggelARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology1999Cited by: 1

    The inhibition of responses to interfering stimuli in a trial results in longer reaction times in the following trial in which to-be-ignored stimuli become targets. This is due to the fact that the residual inhibition of the distractor must be overcome before the relevant response can be produced. Such negative priming effects are wellknown inhibitory after-effects and the focus of intensive research. However, it seems reasonable to assume that t…
