Abstract

Participants viewed video clips of a left or right-handed reach toward an object that was orientated with a handle to the left or right. They were required to classify the object by making a left or right-handed key-press and ignore the reach. These responses were, never-the-less, affected by the observed reach in ways which largely reflected the opportunities for complementary actions in the viewed scenes, given the simultaneous constraints of the object orientation combined with the direction and hand of reach. These influences are claimed to reflect the interdependency of the action possibilities that arise from a set of objects and agents in three-dimensional space that together determine behaviour.

That is the orientation relative to the participant, which is, of course, reversed for the actor’s perspective.

A difference confirmed by a significant three interaction of response by reach by experiment, F(1,59) = 29.47, p < 0.0005, in an additional analysis.

Albeit only in response latency in the case of the point of view reaches.
