Binding and Retrieval in Action Control (BRAC)

Published on March 18, 2020

Human action control relies on representations that integrate perception and action, but the relevant research is scattered over various experimental paradigms and the theorizing is overly paradigm-specific. To overcome this obstacle we propose BRAC (binding and retrieval in action control), an overarching, integrative framework that accounts for a wide range of seemingly unrelated findings by assuming ‘two core processes: feature binding and retrieval’. In contrast to previous approaches, we define binding and retrieval as functionally different and separable processes that independently contribute to the observed effects.
