The controller module maps the numerical representations to actions (gaze shifts) by means of a nonlinear function with adaptable parameters.
Plausibly, some of my representations are so thoroughly subconscious that I cannot attribute them to myself, while they are nevertheless mine due to the causal relations they bear to other representations and to actions that are paradigmatically mine.
The reverse path also appears in context-aware systems, from changes in the context representation to trigger actions in certain actuators.
Cognitive psychologists study how organisms take in information about their environment, form internal representations of the information, and process or manipulate those representations to select and execute actions (Holyoak, 1999).
Thus, size-specificity due to action representations should also have induced size-specific performance on mismatches, which we did not observe.
According to these premises, in this paper we present an approach to action representation that is based on a "conceptual" level of representation, acting as an intermediate level between symbols and data coming from sensors.
However, recent studies indicate that valence representations are also closely coupled to action requirements (Crockett et al. 2009; Guitart-Masip et al. 2011, 2012, 2014; Levita et al. 2012), suggesting that the explanatory power of valence in isolation could be limited.
In the next temporal window (430 480) V5/motorotor and premotor areas were no longer activated (more to dynamic than static pictures), while cingulate activation was increased along with the inferior frontal and orbitofrontal cortices, possibly suggesting a switch from a sensory-motor code for action representation to a more abstract cognitive/affective code for representing visual information.
Alternatively, TPJ activity during gestural interpretation may reflect the attribution of agency to the action representations in the pMNS [74].
In fact, the motor information "attached" to action-word representations is held to provides a relational context - including path, manner, results and instruments [40] - that enriches and instantiates their conceptualization.
