对自愿行为的研究主要集中在我们如何在运动和认知层面上表现我们的行为。然而，我们如何代表自愿不作为的问题却被完全忽视了。本研究的目的是探讨故意不行动的认知和运动表征。通过使用作用-效应绑定方法，我们证明了作用和不作用的相似性。特别是，我们的研究结果表明，自愿不作为可以绑定到一个有效的语气。这一发现表明，效果绑定并不局限于动作表征和后续效果之间的关联（动作-效果绑定），也可能发生在预期的非动作及其效果（非动作-效果绑定）之间。此外，我们证明，不作为必须主动发起，以引出不作为效应约束。
Research on voluntary action has focused on the question of how we represent our behavior on a motor and cognitive level. However, the question of how we represent voluntary not acting has been completely neglected. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cognitive and motor representation of intentionally not acting. By using an action-effect binding approach, we demonstrate similarities of action and nonaction. In particular, our results reveal that voluntary nonactions can be bound to an effect tone. This finding suggests that effect binding is not restricted to an association between a motor representation and a successive effect (action-effect binding) but can also occur for an intended nonaction and its effect (nonaction-effect binding). Moreover, we demonstrate that nonactions have to be initiated voluntarily in order to elicit nonaction-effect binding.
