从动作识别理论的角度探讨了动作的认知表征和控制问题。该理论认为，任何行为都可以通过多种方式进行识别，从指定行为如何执行的低级身份到表示行为执行原因或效果的高级身份。一个行动者最有可能采用的识别水平据说取决于反映全面行动理解和有效行动维护之间的权衡的过程。这意味着行动者总是对较高层次的识别的上下文线索敏感，但如果行动证明难以在头脑中保持较高层次的身份，则移动到较低层次的识别。这些各自的过程是有据可查的经验，因为是他们协调的相互作用，促进一个水平的优势识别，匹配的上限，演员的能力，以执行该行动。这种分析的影响是发展的行动稳定性，心理学的性能障碍，个人与情境的因果关系，和自我理解的行为基础。
Issues in the cognitive representation and control of action are broached from the perspective of action identification theory. This theory holds that any action can be identified in many ways, ranging from low-level identities that specify how the action is performed to high-level identities that signify why or with what effect the action is performed. The level of identification most likely to be adopted by an actor is said to be dictated by processes reflecting a trade-off between concerns for comprehensive action understanding and effective action maintenance. This means that the actor is always sensitive to contextual cues to higher levels of identification but moves to lower levels of identification if the action proves difficult to maintain with higher level identities in mind. These respective processes are documented empirically, as is their coordinated interplay in promoting a level of prepotent identification that matches the upper limits of the actor's capacity to perform the action. The implications of this analysis are developed for action stability, the psychology of performance impairment, personal versus situational causation, and the behavioral bases of self-understanding.
