Introspecting perceptual, motor, and decision events

How embodied is perceptual decision making? Evidence for separate processing of perceptual and motor decisions.

The extent to which different cognitive processes are "embodied" is widely debated. Previous studies have implicated sensorimotor regions such as lateral intraparietal (LIP) area in perceptual decision making. This has led to the view that perceptual decisions are embodied in the same sensorimotor networks that guide body movements. We use event-related fMRI and effective connectivity analysis ...

Relationship between Handwriting Legibility and Speed and Perceptual-Motor Skills in Persian language Students

The purpose of this inquiry was to examine the interrelations among handwriting legibility and speed, and underlying perceptual-motor skills in Persian language students. Seventy students (26 male, 44 female; 10.21 ± 1.02 yr; 30 poor and 40 good control hand writers) were assessed during a copying task. The children completed the visual-motor control (VMC), upper-limb speed and dexterity (ULSD)...
