Changes of mind after movement onset: a motor-state dependent decision-making process
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
ABSTRACT Decision-making is traditionally described as a cognitive process of deliberation followed by commitment to an action choice, preceding the planning and execution of the chosen action. However, this is challenged by recent data suggesting that multiple options are specified simultaneously and compete in pre-motor cortical areas for selection and execution. Previous studies focused on the competition during planning, and leave unaddressed the dynamics of decisions during movement. Does deliberation extend into the execution phase? Are non-selected options still considered? Here we studied a decision-making task in which human participants were instructed to select a reaching path trajectory from an origin to a rectangular target, where reward was distributed non-uniformly at the target. Critically, we applied mechanical perturbations to the arm during movement to study under which conditions such perturbations produce changes of mind. Our results show that participants initially selected the direction of movement towards the highest reward region, and changed their mind most frequently when the two choices offered the same reward, showing that deliberation continues and follows cost-benefit considerations during movement. Furthermore, changes of mind were dependent upon the intensity of the perturbation and the current state of the motor system, including velocity and distance to targets. Although reward remains most relevant, our results indicate that the state of the motor system when the perturbation occurs is a crucial determinant of changes of mind. This indicates that the neural circuits that assess reward and those that control movements operate synergistically rather than sequentially during decision-making. Significance Statement Our study provides supporting evidence for the notion that deliberation during decision-making continues after movement onset because unselected potential actions are not completely suppressed or discarded. From a neurophysiological perspective, our findings suggest that the competition between actions is not over before action initiation, possibly because the initially unselected neuronal population retains some sub-threshold activation, which enables them to take control afterwards. Furthermore, our findings also suggest that decision-makers have a variable degree of commitment to their initial choice, which depends on the relative reward of the offers and on the state of the motor system. The commitment is stronger if the initially selected plan leads to higher rewards, and changes of mind occur more frequently if the velocity and relative position of the end-point are within specific ranges.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
