Anticipation (second-order motor planning) is stored in memory – processing of grasp postures in a priming paradigm [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyThe end-state comfort effect (ESC) describes the tendency to grasp an object with an initial uncomfortable grasp posture in order to achieve a comfortable end posture. The ESC is an example for anticipative processes in manual action.

Aging and Complexity Effects on Hemisphere-Dependent Movement-Related Beta Desynchronization during Bimanual Motor Planning and Execution [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 With aging comes degradation of bimanual movement performance. A hallmark feature of bimanual movements is movement-related beta desynchronization (MRBD), an attenuation in the amplitude of beta oscillations associated with sensorimotor activation. Here,

Motor planning brings human primary somatosensory cortex into action-specific preparatory states [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Motor planning plays a critical role in producing fast and accurate movement. Yet, the neural processes that occur in human primary motor and somatosensory cortex during planning, and how they relate to those during movement execution, remain poorly ...

On the Emergence of Phonological Knowledge and on Motor Planning and Motor Programming in a Developmental Model of Speech Production [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 A broad sketch for a model of speech production is outlined which describes developmental aspects of its cognitive-linguistic and sensorimotor components. A description of the emergence of phonological knowledge is a central point in our model sketch. It

Age-related changes in motor planning for prior intentions: a mouse tracking reach-to-click task [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyWhen we complete sequential movements with different intentions, we plan our movements and adjust ahead. Such a phenomenon is called anticipatory planning for prior intentions and is known to decline with age.

How Long Is Too Long: An Individual Time-Window for Motor Planning
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 Human motor response time (RT) is determined by the matureness of the preceding neural motor planning process. In the current study, we characterize the temporal boundaries required for the motor planning process, and its impact on the overall motor RT ...
