Abstract:
As mentioned in the target article by Morsella et al., the motor program's contents as a whole do not influence each other in the conscious field; however, research shows that some of their generated aspects could be sensitive to the context of the behavior. Such motivational "context-contamination" leads to voluntarily "turn off" of negative states. Taking place out of the conscious field, these adjustments would have critical influence on behavior, such as aggression.
