Abstract:
Tucker and Ellis (1998) is a seminal work in perception-action binding research. By using manipulable objects in more realistic contexts, their study has offered profound insights into the neurocognitive processes involved in our daily interactions with tools. They were the first to highlight the action potentiation effect. Subsequent research has specified the conditions under which the effect can be observed, evolved the paradigm, and adapted response devices to address other types of questions related to the motor dimension of cognition. Over the past 25 years, their contribution has significantly advanced research and ignited extensive debates on embodied, plastic, and proactive models of cognition.
