"Cognitive Constraints on Action"
Abstract: I will address the ancient problem of why is it so difficult to rub your stomach while patting your head. While this task is somewhat difficult to control in the laboratory, variants have been well-studied in the motor control literature, designed to provide insight into our competence and limitations in the production of actions. The emphasis in this literature has been on constraints related to motor programming and execution. I will offer an alternative framework, arguing that many of the constraints arise at a more cognitive level, reflecting the manner in which the task goals are represented. This perspective allows us to see how qualitative changes can emerge, both in terms of behavior and associated neural systems, between tasks involving subtle differences in the movements themselves.
