Neuron 21, 753–759. For two reasons. Stated differently, we will eat foods that we anticipate will satisfy our weight-loss objectives. This is known as "Hypobolic Discounting". In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks. PLoS One 2, e259. that performing an action involves the activation of the sensory effect it usually triggers.

Participants were asked to select their responses voluntarily but aim at an equal distribution of right and left button presses without having a special rule of responding. 9:129–154. Eur. Xu, Y. ). Instead, we suggest that imagery and internal effect anticipation rely on shared mechanisms, with “perceptual” representations in posterior brain regions being modulated by top–down mechanisms originating in anterior brain regions. International Journal of Sport Psychology, 39(2), 100–130. , Hommel et al., 2001 Elsner, B., Hommel, B., Mentschel, C., Drzezga, A., Prinz, W., Conrad, B., and Siebner, H. (2002). First, high-resolution anatomical images were acquired using a T1-weighted 3D MPRAGE sequence (TR = 1550 ms, TE = 2.39 ms, TI = 900 ms, acquisition matrix = 256 × 256 × 176, sagittal FOV = 220 mm, flip angle = 9°, voxel size = 0.9 × 0.9 × 0.9 mm3). First, behavioral effects of action effect associations have been replicated in a number of experiments (e.g., Elsner and Hommel, 2004 Lotze, R. H. (1852). PNAS 99, 10917–10922. Thus, the experiment of Waszak and Herwig shows, in accordance with the present study, that performing a voluntary action involves the anticipation of sensory events the movement usually brings about in the environment. Heekeren, H. R., Marrett, S., Bandettini, P. A., and Ungerleider, L. (2004).

The current research contributes to advancing the understanding of the effects of food anticipation on cognitive ability. During the first part of the fMRI experiment, the baseline phase, participants had to respond as fast as possible either with the index finger of their right or left hand when a white square was presented on the screen while lying in the scanner (Figure 1 Loewenstein, G. (1987). Florian Waszak, Laboratoire Psychologie de la Perception UMR 8158, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and University Paris Descartes, 45 rue des Sts. Using confidence intervals in within-subject designs. Yet, it is only rather recently that research has begun to investigate voluntary action experimentally. On… To do so, the model uses efference copies of the motor commands (Von Holst and Mittelstaedt, 1950 A name for pleasured anticipation is excitement. ; Ranganath et al., 2004 (2001). TWEET. As a step towards exploring that potential, this paper presents a network model of cognition based on stratificational linguistics theory, including "feedforward" features that provide a likely mechanism for anticipation.
