Redefining the decisional components of motor responses: Evidence from lexical and object decision tasks
Publication year: 2023

https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0001113
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Models of decision making focusing on two-alternative choices have classically described motor-response execution as a nondecisional stage that serially follows the termination of decision processes. Recent evidence, however, points toward a more continuous transition between decision and motor processes. We investigated this transition in two lexical decisions and one object decision task. By recording the electromyographic (EMG) signal associated with the muscle responsible for the manual responses (i.e., button press), we partitioned single-trial reaction times into premotor (the time elapsing from stimulus onset until the onset of the EMG burst) and motor times (the time elapsing from the onset of the EMG burst and the button press), with the latter measuring response execution. Responses were slower for pseudowords and pseudo-objects compared to words and real objects. Importantly, these effects were reliable even at the level of motor time measures. Differently, despite the reliable effect at the level of reaction times and premotor times, there was no difference in motor times between high- and low-frequency words. Although these results, in line with recent evidence, challenge a purely noncognitive characterization of motor-response execution, they further suggest that motor times may selectively capture specific decisional components, which we identify with late-occurring verification and/or control mechanisms.

Electrophysiological evidence of discontinuities in the propagation of lexical decision processes across the motor hierarchy
Publication year: 2023

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028393223001641?via%3Dihub
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This research assessed the propagation of decisional effects across multiple electrophysiological indexes related to motor-response implementation within a lexical decision task, a paradigmatic case of a 2-alternative choice task on linguistic stimuli. By co-registering electroencephalographic and electromyographic data, we focused on the lexicality effect (i.e., the difference between responses to words and nonwords), and we tracked its influence across indexes of motor-response planning (indexed by effector-selective lateralization of beta-frequency desynchronizations), programming (indexed by the lateralized readiness potential) and execution (indexed by the chronometric durations of muscular responses). In addition, we explored corticomuscular coherence as the potential physiological underpinning of a continuous mapping of information between stimulus evaluation and response channels. The results revealed lexicality effects only on indexes of motor planning and execution, with no reliable involvement of the other measures. This pattern is discussed with reference to the hypothesis of multiple decisional components exerting different influences across the motor-hierarchy.

Final report - Redefining the boundaries between cognition and action through the psychophysiological investigation of binary decisions
Publication year: 2023
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Prominent decision-making models assume a serial transition from cognition to action. Decisions are envisaged as evidence accumulating towards one of the alternatives, until reaching an action-triggering boundary: Motor responses are not part of the decision process.
Aims
The project questioned the notion of a functional segregation between cognition and action, and attempted to identify the neurocognitive underpinnings of a continuous processing stream mapping decisions to motor responses.
Method
The project focused on lexical decision experiments with manual button-press responses. The first study used electromyographic (EMG) traces to measure response durations. The second study co-registered EMG and electroencephalographic (EEG) signals to track the propagation of decisions across different stages of the motor hierarchy, including long-range interactions indexed by corticomuscular coherence (CMC).
Results
The first study revealed a selective propagation of decisional effects to response duration, which was possibly modulated by verification processes for items with no representation in memory. The second study highlighted a discontinuity in the percolation of decisional effects across the motor hierarchy, with the involvement of motor planning and response duration, but no modulations of motor programming and CMC.
Conclusions
These results question the assumption of a serial transition from decision to motor responses, and the notion of a single decisional variable propagating from decisional to motor stages. Differently, they foster the hypothesis of multiple decisional components reflected at different stages of motor control, pointing to verification process as a plausible decisional substrate of motor execution.
