No effect of online cyberball social exclusion on interval estimation of action-outcome events
Automatic imitation towards robots is not influenced by the intentional stance
Automatic imitation refers to the unconscious tendency to copy observed actions, a phenomenon that is robustly weaker when observing robots compared to humans. The present study investigated whether individual differences in the tendency to adopt the intentional stance (the epistemic strategy to attribute mental states to an agent or entity to predict/explain its behaviours) modulates this automatic imitation bias against robots. To do so, partic…
Us and them
People's propensity to imitate others' actions is well documented. However, research on imitation remains mainly focused on dyadic social interactions, disregarding that we often interact with others as parts of larger groups. Extending sparse research on imitation beyond dyadic interactions, the current study investigated how anticipated imitation effects become modulated in social interactions between groups. Participants performed an anticipat…
Moderate manipulation to somatosensory feedback does not affect Libet-style intentional action
The existence of free will has been called into question by Benjamin Libet’s seminal experiment, who argued that our conscious decision is preceded by an unconscious decision reflected in the readiness potential (RP). Alternatively, it has been argue that the RP rather reflects a decision process in which different signals accumulate until they reach the intention threshold, at which point an agent experience their intention simultaneously. This …
Temporal binding during deliberate rule breaking
Rules are deeply ingrained in our cognitive architecture. • Deliberately breaking a rule modulates early and late delays during a temporal binding task. • Early delays are due to cognitive conflict, later delays to effort. • No evidence was found to suggest a relationship between rule breaking and explicit judgments of control. Rules are deeply ingrained in our cognition. The current study investigates the influence of rule breaking on explicit s…
Preliminary evidence for a selective agency-boosting effect of psychosocial stress
Across 2 studies, explicit and implicit methods are used to explore stress and SoA. • Under stress, temporal binding selectively increases after 700 ms delays. • No statistically significant relationship was found between stress and explicit SoA. • Increased action-effect intervals produce a potential “stress-enabled agency boost” Sense of Agency (SoA) arises from the perception of being in control of one’s own actions and their outcomes. Many co…
Anticipated imitation of multiple agents
It is well-established that people tend to mimic one another's actions, a crucial aspect of social interactions. Anticipating imitation has been shown to boost motor activation and reaction times for congruent actions. However, prior research predominantly focused on dyads, leaving gaps in our knowledge regarding group dynamics. This study addresses this gap, conducting three experiments using extensive online data. Participants engaged in antici…
Using a Veto paradigm to investigate the decision models in explaining Libet-style experiments
The question of whether free will exists or not has intrigued philosophers for centuries. About 40 years ago, cognitive neuroscientists such as Benjamin Libet have joined the discussion by demonstrating that an ERP component, the readiness potential (RP), precedes the reported time of decision to act by a few hundred milliseconds. Libet et al. (1983) argued that our brains unconsciously prepare the movement before we experience any conscious inte…
