Humans sacrifice decision-making for action execution when a demanding control of movement is required
Amélie Reynaud, Clara Saleri Lunazzi, David Thura
Abstract
Recent hypotheses propose that choices and movements share optimization principles derived from economy, possibly implemented by one unique context-dependent regulation signal determining both processes' speed. In the present behavioral study conducted on human subjects, we demonstrate that action properties indeed influence perceptual decision-making, but that decision duration and action vigor are actually independently set depending on the difficulty of the movement executed to report a choice.
