What neuropsychology tells us about human tool use? The four constraints theory (4CT): mechanics, space, time, and effort
F Osiurak - Neuropsychology review, 2014 - Springer
Our understanding of human tool use comes mainly from neuropsychology, particularly from
patients with apraxia or action disorganization syndrome. However, there is no integrative …

A review of log-polar imaging for visual perception in robotics
VJ Traver, A Bernardino - Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2010 - Elsevier
Log-polar imaging consists of a type of methods that represent visual information with a
space-variant resolution inspired by the visual system of mammals. It has been studied for …

Tool use and affordance: Manipulation-based versus reasoning-based approaches.
F Osiurak, A Badets - Psychological review, 2016 - psycnet.apa.org
Tool use is a defining feature of human species. Therefore, a fundamental issue is to
understand the cognitive bases of human tool use. Given that people cannot use tools …

[HTML][HTML] The role of the pre-supplementary motor area in the control of action
Although regions within the medial frontal cortex are known to be active during voluntary
movements their precise role remains unclear. Here we combine functional imaging …

Broken affordances, broken objects: a TMS study
It is well known that specific components of motor programs are automatically activated
when they are afforded by object related pragmatic features. Among these features the …

The object-based Simon effect: Grasping affordance or relative location of the graspable part?
DT Cho, RW Proctor - Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human …, 2010 - psycnet.apa.org
Reaction time is often shorter when the irrelevant graspable handle of an object
corresponds with the location of a keypress response to the relevant attribute than when it …

Visual object affordances: Object orientation
E Symes, R Ellis, M Tucker - Acta psychologica, 2007 - Elsevier
Five experiments systematically investigated whether orientation is a visual object property
that affords action. The primary aim was to establish the existence of a pure physical …

Simon-like and functional affordance effects with tools: The effects of object perceptual discrimination and object action state
In the present study two separate stimulus–response compatibility effects (functional
affordance and Simon-like effects) were investigated with centrally presented pictures of an …

Viewing objects and planning actions: On the potentiation of grasping behaviours by visual objects
How do humans interact with tools? Gibson (1979) suggested that humans perceive directly
what tools afford in terms of meaningful actions. This “affordances” hypothesis implies that …

At the edge of consciousness: automatic motor activation and voluntary control
Conventionally, voluntary conscious acts and automatic behavior have been considered to
be mediated by separate processes—and by separate brain structures. In this review, the …
