Propensity and attainment of flow state
… In Study 2, I tested the effect of the interaction between two key personality variables, trait sport confidence and action control, and key situational variables, self- and externally-paced tasks, on flow state and performance. Finally, in Study 3, I investigated the efficacy of an imagery …

A Telephone-Assisted Planning Intervention to Promote Parental Support for Physical Activity Among Children and Youth With Disabilities
… youth with disabilities (CYD). The multi-process action control (M-PAC) model highlights behavioral strategies such as action planning (AP) as critical in facilitating parental support. There is no known research examining AP as a tool to promote parental PA support among parents of CYD. Purpose: …

Serotonergic modulation of cognition
Action control arises from the interaction of two anatomically distinct decision-making systems, namely goal-directed and habitual behaviour. Goal-directed behaviour is characterized by the consideration of future choices and respective outcomes whereas habitual responding is driven by …

READY, STEADY, AND GO. A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study of Set-Related Inhibitory Activity in the Human Dorsal Precentral Region
… appropriate, but also to stop them if required. Action initiation and control are characteristic features of many of our daily life actions. There is a large amount of evidence in monkeys and humans suggesting that the dorsal premotor cortex (PMD) and the supplementary motor areas (SMA) might be …

A Feasibility Study Evaluating an Online Physical Activity Intervention for Young Adults with Low Mood and/or Depression Engaged in Community Primary Clinical Care
… designed using the Multi-Process Action Control (M-PAC) framework with a waitlist control. Youth aged 19-30 with mild to moderate DS not meeting Canada PA guidelines were recruited via community clinics and social media. Primary feasibility outcomes were recruitment rate, retention …

Patterns of psychological response to the demands of computer-supported work.
… is adopted. A theoretical framework of Adaptive Action Control is presented, synthesized from a number of theories, including action theory and motivational control theory. The meaning and measurement of variables within this framework is discussed. Three empirical studies are reported, and their …

The Role of Context in Stimulus-Response Binding and Retrieval
… underlying human information processing and action control. There is strong evidence showing that when humans perform a task, stimuli (e.g., the target, the distractor) and responses are bound together into an episodic representation, called an event file or a stimulus-response (S-R) episode, …

Computation Approaches for Continuous Reinforcement Learning Problems
Optimisation theory is at the heart of any control process, where we seek to control the behaviour of a system through a set of actions. Linear control problems have been extensively studied, and optimal control laws have been identified. But the world around us is highly non-linear and …

Unconscious priming of "freely" chosen voluntary actions: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence
… development organisms learn to associate their actions with the effects these actions have in the environment. Recent studies have shown that perceiving or anticipating action-effects automatically activates actions, which formerly have been experienced to cause these effects (Elsner & …

Entwicklung und Validierung einer Simulationsbasis zum Test von Reglern raumlufttechnischer Anlagen
Heutzutage gewinnt die Simulation von Gebäuden und Anlagen zunehmend an Bedeutung, um die Betriebsweise der Anlagen zu diagnostizieren bzw. zu bewerten und den Energiebedarf vorherzusagen. Dabei hängt die erzielte Genauigkeit von dem Kompliziertheitsgrad des angewendeten Simulationsprogramms ab. …

Unconscious modulation of the conscious experience of voluntary control
… the brain generate our experience of being in control over our actions and their effects? Here I argue that the perception of events as self-caused emerges from a comparison between anticipated and actual action-effects: if the representation of an event that follows an action is activated …
