It has been suggested that the metrics of grasping movements directed to visible objects are controlled in real time and are therefore unaffected by previous experience. We tested whether the properties of a visually presented distractor object influence the kinematics of a subsequent grasping movement performed under full vision. After viewing an elliptical distractor object in one of two different orientations participants grasped a target object, which was either the same object with the…

Visually guided grasping of common objects: Effects of priming
Priming effects were tested on the planning of the grasping of common objects under full vision during action performance. Healthy participants took part in four experiments which manipulated the…
Grasping an object comfortably: orientation information is held in memory
TLDR
The results suggest that a memory effect on real-time control is constrained by end-state comfort and by the relevance of the prime for the grasping movement, which might mean that the interactions between the ventral and dorsal pathways are task specific.
Visuomotor priming of action preparation and motor programming is similar in visually guided and memory-guided actions
Action preparation in grasping reveals generalization of precision between implicit and explicit motor processes
A review of grasping as the movements of digits in space.
TLDR
This review develops a new description of the speed-accuracy trade-off for multiple effectors that is applied to grasping and concludes that treating grasping as movements of the digits in space is a more suitable basis for understanding the neural control of grasping.
Does planning a different trajectory influence the choice of grasping points?
TLDR
It is found that subjects do not appear to consider the path when selecting grasping points, which suggests that the grasping points are selected before planning the movements towards those points.
Interference in skilled and unskilled grasping
TLDR
The purpose of the present work was to rule out two alternative explanations for the PRP effect in grasping and establish an alternative indicator for ventral processing, GarnerInterference, the ventral stream’s inability to efficiently ignore variations of task-irrelevant stimulus dimensions.
Did you see that? Dissociating advanced visual information and ball flight constrains perception and action processes during one-handed catching.
The influence of visual feedback from the recent past on the programming of grip aperture is grasp-specific, shared between hands, and mediated by sensorimotor memory not task set
Grasping remaps the distribution of visuospatial attention and enhances competing action activation
TLDR
How action goals influence the distribution of visuospatial attention near the body and how the temporal relationship between distractors and targets modifies shifts in visuOSPatial attention are examined are examined.

A new view on grasping.
TLDR
This model predicts how experimental variable such as object size, movement speed, fragility, and required accuracy will influence the timing and size of the maximum aperture of the hand and showed that the predicted influences correspond to human behavior.
Objects automatically potentiate action: an fMRI study of implicit processing
TLDR
The greater the difference in reaction times between congruent and incongruent trials, the greater the competition between the action afforded by the object and the action specified by the task, and thus the greaterThe activation within this network is suggested.
Perceptual illusion and the real-time control of action.
TLDR
The results suggest that dedicated, real-time visuomotor mechanisms are engaged for the control of action only after the response is cued, and only if the target is visible, and therefore resist size-contrast illusions.

TLDR
The results show that hand path priming was not the result of active prediction, persisted for many trials, and generalized over the workspace, and the times to initiate movements also reflected the use of a sophisticated visual search strategy that took obstacle likelihood into account.
Evidence for visuomotor priming effect
TLDR
This work primed normal subjects, while ready to execute a grasping movement, by visually presenting them with drawings irrelevant to the task to be executed, which represents the first evidence for the existence of a visuomotor priming.
On the relation between object shape and grasping kinematics.
TLDR
The results indicate that the perceived shape of the cylinder is used for selecting appropriate grasping locations before or early in the movement and that the grip aperture and orientation are gradually attuned to these locations during the movement.
Visuomotor Priming
Two experiments were performed to explore a possible visuomotor priming effect. The participants were instructed to fixate a cross on a computer screen and to respond, when the cross changed colour…
