On the feeling of doing: dysphoria and the implicit modulation of authorship ascription.

Subliminal priming of actions influences sense of control over effects of action

Priming and authorship ascription: when nonconscious goals turn into conscious experiences of self-agency.

These studies show how the mechanisms underlying nonconscious goal pursuit promote experiences of self-agency, thus integrating 2 lines of research that so far have led separate lives.

Prospective Sense of Agency: Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms

The sense of agency (SoA) refers to the sense of being in control of one’s actions and, through them, of events in the external world. Much research has focused on how we link our actions to their…

Retrospective construction of the judgement of free choice

Intention Invention and the Affect Misattribution Procedure

There was no evidence that validity in the AMP depends on intentionally rating primes, and experimental manipulations, rather than retrospective self-reports, suggested that participants make post hoc confabulations to explain their responses.

The Sense of Agency during Continuous Action: Performance Is More Important than Action-Feedback Association

It was concluded that, when the action-feedback association was uncertain, cognitive inference was more dominant relative to the process of comparing predicted and perceived information in the judgment of agency.

The Role of Consciousness in Priming Effects on Categorization

Consciousness of a priming event at the time information about the event is retrieved from memory is argued to make a qualitative difference as to the consequences of the prime for subsequent social…

Experiencing Oneself vs Another Person as Being the Cause of an Action: The Neural Correlates of the Experience of Agency

It is suggested that the anterior insula is concerned with the integration of all the concordant multimodal sensory signals associated with voluntary movements, and the inferior parietal cortex represents movements in an allocentric coding system that can be applied to the actions of others as well as the self.

From Acts To Dispositions The Attribution Process In Person Perception1

Telling more than we can know: Verbal reports on mental processes.

Evidence is reviewed which suggests that there may be little or no direct introspective access to higher order cognitive processes. Subjects are sometimes (a) unaware of the existence of a stimulus…

Leader or follower? Involvement of the inferior parietal lobule in agency

Bilateral activity in the inferior parietal lobule in conditions involving confusion about the origin of the action confirmed its role in agency.

It is suggested that the right inferior parietal, precuneus and somatosensory cortex are specifically involved in distinguishing self-produced actions from those generated by others.

Effects of Perceptual Fluency on Affective Judgments

According to a two-step account of the mere-exposure effect, repeated exposure leads to the subjective feeling of perceptual fluency, which in turn influences liking. If so, perceptual fluency…

Control orientation and the illusion of control.

The findings suggest that externals are doubly impaired: their bias toward perceived response-outcome independence is given up when it would be most helpful, that is, when environmental cues suggest control in an objectively uncontrollable situation.

Apparent mental causation. Sources of the experience of will.

The experience of willing an act arises from interpreting one's thought as the cause of the act. Conscious will is thus experienced as a function of the priority, consistency, and exclusivity of the…
