Recently, researchers have measured hand movements en route to choices on a screen to
understand the dynamics of a broad range of psychological processes. We review this …

Perceptual and cognitive processes have largely been inferred based on reaction times and
accuracies obtained from discrete responses. However, discrete responses are unlikely to …

Manual actions are a hallmark of humanness. Their underlying neural circuitry gives rise to
species-specific skills and interacts with language processes. In particular, multiple studies …

A central goal in cognitive science is to parse the series of processing stages underlying a
cognitive task. A powerful yet simple behavioral method that can resolve this problem is …

Over the past decade, mouse tracking in choice tasks has become a popular method across
psychological science. This method exploits hand movements as a measure of multiple …

The future progress of cognitive science looks set to involve ever-increasing efforts to anchor
research to the real world poles of sensing and acting. Thus anchored, time, world and body …

Perception, cognition, and action occur over time. An organism must continuously and
rapidly integrate sensory data with prior knowledge and potential actions at multiple …

How do we extrapolate the final position of hand trajectory that suddenly vanishes behind a
wall? Studies showing maintenance of cortical activity after objects in motion disappear …

How do people represent object meaning? It is now uncontentious that thinking about
manipulable objects (eg, pencils) activates brain regions underlying action. But is this …

Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …
