RT Journal Article A1 Fiehler, Katja A1 Brenner, Eli A1 Spering, Miriam T1 Prediction in goal-directed action JF Journal of Vision JO Journal of Vision YR 2019 DO 10.1167/19.9.10 VO 19 IS 9 SP 10 OP 10 SN 1534-7362 AB Prediction allows humans and other animals to prepare for future interactions with their environment. This is important in our dynamically changing world that requires fast and accurate reactions to external events. Knowing when and where an event is likely to occur allows us to plan eye, hand, and body movements that are suitable for the circumstances. Predicting the sensory consequences of such movements helps to differentiate between self-produced and externally generated movements. In this review, we provide a selective overview of experimental studies on predictive mechanisms in human vision for action. We present classic paradigms and novel approaches investigating mechanisms that underlie the prediction of events guiding eye and hand movements. RD 3/8/2021 UL https://doi.org/10.1167/19.9.10
