Abstract
The control of goal-directed reaching movements is thought to rely upon egocentric visual information derived from the visuomotor networks of the dorsal visual pathway. However, recent research (Krigolson and Heath, 2004) suggests it is also possible to make allocentric comparisons between a visual background and a target object to facilitate reaching accuracy. Here we sought to determine if the effectiveness of these allocentric comparisons is reduced as distance between a visual background and a target object increases. To accomplish this, participants completed memory-guided reaching movements to targets presented in an otherwise empty visual background or positioned within a proximal, medial, or distal visual background. Our results indicated that the availability of a proximal or medial visual background reduced endpoint variability relative to reaches made without a visual background. Interestingly, we found that endpoint variability was not reduced when participants reached to targets framed within a distal visual background. Such findings suggest that allocentric visual information is used to facilitate reaching performance; however, the fidelity by which such cues are used appears linked to the proximity of veridical target location. Importantly, these data also suggest that information from both the dorsal and ventral visual streams can be integrated to facilitate the online control of reaching movements.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
