In cognitive psychology, the "ideomotor" approach proposes that responses are controlled by anticipations of intended sensory consequences ("response effects"). However, the specific nature of the relation between response and anticipated effect is still largely unclear. The present project aims to explore two interrelated issues. First, we examine whether the mapping of response modality (e.g. manual vs. vocal) and effect modality (e.g., visual vs. auditory) influences the impact of effect anticipation. Second, we explore whether the role of effect anticipation in response control can be generalised from perceptual similarity relations between responses and effects to conceptual relations. We investigate these issues using a response-effect (R-E) compatibility paradigm with predictable effect stimuli. Previous work showed that R-E compatibility (with respect to "dimensional overlap") facilitates performance relative to R-E incompatible conditions, suggesting that representations of anticipated effects precede the response. Using variations of this paradigm, we systematically manipulate the modality of responses and effects to examine the role of modality mapping in effect anticipation. Moreover, we examine conceptual overlap of response and effect by manipulating perceptual surface characteristics of the anticipated effects, so that perceptually non-matching effects can maintain the conceptual relation to the response, such as in bilingual transfer (i.e., language of verbal responses and of auditory response effects). Taken together, this project will refine the ideomotor framework with respect to the complementary issues of modality-specificity and conceptual R-E overlap and will thus contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of response control.

在认知心理学中，“观念运动”方法提出，反应是由对预期感官后果的预期（“反应效应”）控制的。然而，反应与预期效果之间关系的具体性质仍不清楚。本项目旨在探讨两个相互关联的问题。首先，我们检查响应模态（例如手动与声音）和效果模态（例如视觉与听觉）的映射是否会影响效果预期的影响。其次，我们探讨效果预期在反应控制中的作用是否可以从反应和效果之间的感知相似关系推广到概念关系。我们使用具有可预测效应刺激的响应效应（R-E）兼容性范例来研究这些问题。先前的工作表明，相对于 R-E 不兼容条件，R-E 兼容性（相对于“维度重叠”）有利于性能，这表明预期效果的表示先于响应。使用这种范式的变体，我们系统地操纵响应和效果的模态，以检查模态映射在效果预期中的作用。此外，我们通过操纵预期效果的感知表面特征来检查响应和效果的概念重叠，以便感知上不匹配的效果可以保持与响应的概念关系，例如在双语迁移中（即口头响应和听觉响应效果的语言）。总而言之，该项目将针对模态特异性和概念 R-E 重叠的互补问题完善意念运动框架，从而有助于更好地理解反应控制机制。
