  1. Dec 18, 2003 · Taken together, studies on instrumental learning in humans and other animals imply that a positive contingency facilitates the detection of a relationship between action and effect.

  2. Feb 1, 2009 · We show that contingency modulates not just the perceived relation between action and effect, but the temporal perception of action itself. Our results further emphasize the intimate relationship between time perception and causality (Michotte, 1963), and between action and time perception (Yarrow, Haggard, Heal, Brown, & Rothwell, 2001).

  3. May 14, 2014 · In this framework, action effects are precisely those sensory events that can be predicted from one’s intentions, using the specific intermediate mechanism of the comparator model (Wolpert et al., 1995; Figure 1A). Thus, the comparator model allows for two specific predictions.

  4. May 15, 2013 · Defining cues for instrumental causality are the temporal, spatial and contingency relationships between actions and their effects. In this study, we carried out a series of causal learning experiments that systematically manipulated time and context in positive and negative contingency conditions.

  5. If action-effect learning has an associative basis, it should be influenced by factors that are known to affect instrumental learning, such as the temporal contiguity and the probabilistic contingency of movement and effect.

  6. Sep 14, 2018 · The contingency between an action (key press) and an outcome (white dot) was varied systematically over experimental blocks such that in some blocks the outcome only occurred in response to an action, while in others the outcome could also occur in the absence of an action.

  8. Nov 28, 2003 · They studied the contribution of two factors to action-effect learning: The temporal contiguity and the probabilistic contingency of action and effect. Based on their findings that both factors affected the acquisition of action-effect relations, they conclude that action-effect representations are acquired by associative learning mechanisms.
