The phrase "action outcome" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the results or effects of a specific action, often in fields like project management, psychology, or performance evaluation.
Example: "The action outcome of implementing the new policy was a significant increase in employee productivity."
Alternatives: "result of the action" or "effect of the action".
At every instance in time, the brain generates new M1 states, the IA selects actions, and the Critic estimates the action outcome based on the representation of reward expectation in NAcc.
This re-constructive process integrates contextual and sensory information to infer on the action – outcome association and may contribute to establishing action – outcome associations under conditions of temporal outcome uncertainty.
Retrospective binding is thought to reflect post-hoc inference on agency based on sensory evidence of the action – outcome association.
An interesting question is whether temporal outcome uncertainty interacts with specific action – outcome delays during this re-constructive process.
In principle, our study design confounds two aspects of a contingent action – outcome association, namely temporal predictability and temporal control (Hughes, Desantis, & Waszak, 2012).
A top-down process could re-construct action awareness by integrating prior knowledge and sensory evidence of the action – outcome association.
Neuroimaging studies have implicated a number of regions in the sense of agency, some of which have been shown to vary continuously with action-outcome discordance.
The results showed that transiently inhibiting the left dlPFC impaired choice accuracy, particularly in situations in which the acquisition of sequential transitions between decision states and temporally lagged action-outcome contingencies played a greater role.
In the design of S-BMI, we seek systems that compute with action-outcome sequences and assign high value to outcomes that yield desirable rewards.
Using a continuous decision-making task with four different dynamic reward structures underlying subjects' action-outcome contingencies, we found in this paper that differential involvement of brain areas in action selection and learning during different time periods of the task.
Underlying a large part of this PARC in goal-directed behavior is valuation, which is the process of computing action-outcome sequences to optimize future decision-making in the context of dynamical conditions [6].
