We plan and execute our own actions while other animals, people, vehicles, and objects
move around us. Our survival depends on the success of these daily interactions with a …

Humans and other animals are able not only to coordinate their actions with their current
sensorimotor state, but also to imagine, plan and act in view of the future, and to realize …

A hallmark of higher brain function is the ability to rapidly and flexibly adjust behavioral
responses based on internal and external cues. Here, we examine the computational …

In this book JER Staddon proposes an explanation of behavior that lies between cognitive
psychology, which seeks to explain it in terms of mentalistic constructs, and cognitive …

Temporal binding refers to a subjective shortening of elapsed time between actions and
their resultant consequences. Originally, it was thought that temporal binding is specific to …

Humans can automatically detect and learn to exploit repeated aspects (regularities) of the
environment. Timing research suggests that such learning is not only used to anticipate what …

In everyday encounters with the world we interact with a dynamic environ-ment. Whether
hunting game in the Serengeti, fleeing tigers in the Himalayas, traversing the streets of New …

Everyday life provides people with countless opportunities for observing and interacting with
objects in motion. For example, watching a baseball game, driving a car and even dropping …

Anticipatory responses can minimize the disturbances that result from the action of one part
of the body on another. Such a predictive response is evident in the anticipatory increase in …

The ability to perceive and produce movements in the real world with precise timing is
critical for survival in animals, including humans. However, research on sensorimotor timing …
