Symbolic cues Spatial cues Asymmetric movement Symmetric movement L S L L Diedrichsen, Hazeltine, Kennerley, & Ivry, 2001
Reaction time cost with symbolic cues • Coupling during movement preparation • Increased processing demands on response selection • Translate two different symbolic cues • Assign a movement to each arm Diedrichsen, Grafton, Albert, Hazeltine, & Ivry, 2006
Research question Do bimanual reaches with more cognitive visuomotor control processes compared to more automatic control exhibit greater spatial coupling?
Method • 16 participants • Spatial and symbolic cues • Optotrak L S
Symbolic, long-short, no modulations Symbolic, short-long, modulations
Discussion • Increased cognitive processing for response selection with symbolically-cued asymmetric movements • Coupling was also related to response selection • Reaction time cost • Errors in target selection • Coupling is limited to the processes that require greater cognitive control
