Reaching Distance Influences Perceptual Decisions.

ABSTRACT: Decision making is an integral part of everyday life. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential influence of action on perceptual decisions, following ideas of embodied decision making. Studies examining decisions regarding the direction of noisy visual motion have found a bias towards the least effortful response option in experiments in which the differences in motor costs associated with alternative response actions were implicit, but not in an experiment in which these differences were made explicit. It remains unclear whether the biasing effect generalizes to other perceptual tasks than motion perception and whether consciously experiencing motor costs prevents such biases. To test the generalizability of effects across perceptual tasks, we used a within-subjects de
