From movement to thought: executive function, embodied cognition, and the cerebellum
LF Koziol, DE Budding, D Chidekel - The Cerebellum, 2012 - Springer
This paper posits that the brain evolved for the control of action rather than for the
development of cognition per se. We note that the terms commonly used to describe brain …

Action semantics: A unifying conceptual framework for the selective use of multimodal and modality-specific object knowledge
Our capacity to use tools and objects is often considered one of the hallmarks of the human
species. Many objects greatly extend our bodily capabilities to act in the physical world, such …

Tool use and affordance: Manipulation-based versus reasoning-based approaches.
F Osiurak, A Badets - Psychological review, 2016 - psycnet.apa.org
Tool use is a defining feature of human species. Therefore, a fundamental issue is to
understand the cognitive bases of human tool use. Given that people cannot use tools …

Use of optical motion capture for the analysis of normative upper body kinematics during functional upper limb tasks: A systematic review
Quantifying three-dimensional upper body kinematics can be a valuable method for
assessing upper limb function. Considering that kinematic model characteristics, performed …

What neuropsychology tells us about human tool use? The four constraints theory (4CT): mechanics, space, time, and effort
F Osiurak - Neuropsychology review, 2014 - Springer
Our understanding of human tool use comes mainly from neuropsychology, particularly from
patients with apraxia or action disorganization syndrome. However, there is no integrative …

From movement to thought: the development of executive function
LF Koziol, JT Lutz - Applied Neuropsychology: Child, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
This article presents a very simple definition of executive functioning (EF). Although EF is
traditionally understood as a cognitive function dependent upon top-down cortical control …

Learning, remembering, and predicting how to use tools: Distributed neurocognitive mechanisms: Comment on Osiurak and Badets (2016).
LJ Buxbaum - 2017 - psycnet.apa.org
The reasoning-based approach championed by Francois Osiurak and Arnaud Badets
(Osiurak & Badets, 2016) denies the existence of sensory-motor memories of tool use except …

The affordance-matching hypothesis: how objects guide action understanding and prediction
Action understanding lies at the heart of social interaction. Prior research has often
conceptualized this capacity in terms of a motoric matching of observed actions to an action …

Characterization of normative hand movements during two functional upper limb tasks
Background Dexterous hand function is crucial for completing activities of daily living
(ADLs), which typically require precise hand-object interactions. Kinematic analyses of hand …

Action goals and the praxis network: An fMRI study
The praxis representation network (PRN) of the left cerebral hemisphere is typically linked to
the control of functional interactions with familiar tools. Surprisingly, little is known about the …
