Decisional components of motor responses are not related to online response control: Evidence from lexical decision and speed-accuracy tradeoff manipulations.

Evidence suggests that decision processes can propagate to motor-response execution. However, the functional characterization of motor decisional components is not yet fully understood. By combining a classic lexical decision experiment with manipulations of speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT), the presen...

      ab: Evidence suggests that decision processes can propagate to motor-response execution. However, the functional characterization of motor decisional components is not yet fully understood. By combining a classic lexical decision experiment with manipulations of speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT), the present experiment assessed the hypothesis that decisional effects on chronometric measures of motor-response execution are related to online response control. The electromyographic (EMG) signal associated with manual button-press responses was used to dissociate the premotor component (from stimulus onset until the onset of the EMG activity) from the motor component (from EMG onset until the button-press), thus enabling the assessment of decision-related effects in terms of motor-response duration within single-trial reaction times. Other than replicating all the previously reported SAT effects, the experiment revealed hindered control processes when the instructions emphasized speed over accuracy, as indicated by measures of response control such as partial errors, fast errors, and correction likelihood. Nonetheless, the lexicality effect on motor responses, consisting of slower motor times for pseudowords compared to words, was impervious to any SAT modulation. The results suggest that SAT-induced variations in decision and response control policies may not be the prominent determinant of decision-related effects on motor times, highlighting the multiple "cognitive" components that affect peripheral response execution.
