▼ I investigated the attentional and perceptional
mechanisms involved in the control of visually guided and
memory-guided actions in two experiments using event-related
potentials (ERPS). In the first dual task experiment, participants
performed reciprocal aiming in visually guided and memory-guided
modes while simultaneously performing a dichotic listening task
from which ERPs were collected. A decrease in mismatch negativity
(MMN) component amplitude during visually guided aiming suggests
that it requires more automatic attention, and an increase in P300
component latency during memory-guided aiming suggests that it
requires more voluntary attention. In the second experiment, ERPs
were collected while participants were presented with pictures of
tools and, after a delay, either pantomimed how each tool was used
(go) or did nothing (no-go). No differences in perception-related
N170 amplitude were found between go and no-go trials but
limitations of this experiment impede conclusions as to the role of
N170 mechanisms in delayed action planning.

▼ Les événements pertinents de notre environnement sont intégrés au flux d'information complexe et multisensoriel qui nous parvient. La perception du temps est malléable et de nombreuses illusions suggèrent que le temps perçu est influencé par le contexte. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à l’influence de différents aspects du contexte sur la perception du temps et du timing des actions chez l’humain. Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous avons étudié le rôle du caractère explicite de l’apparition d’un événement sur la durée perçue de l’intervalle entre deux événements. Nous avons montré que l’influence du contexte temporel était plus forte dans la condition d’apparition implicite, pour laquelle le biais d’estimation des vers la moyenne des durées présentées est plus fort, et la sensibilité plus basse. Dans la deuxième partie de la thèse, nous avons étudié les effets du contexte temporel et spatial sur le temps perçu des événements. Les résultats de ces études suggèrent que le moment perçu de l’apparition d’un événement ne correspond pas toujours aux latences perceptives mesurées par des taches de temps de réaction, et que la saillance est un indice important pour percevoir le temps. Enfin, dans la troisième partie, nous avons examiné comment différentes sources d’incertitude influencent le timing perçu d’une action et son auto-évaluation. Les résultats suggèrent que ces deux aspects s’appuieraient au moins en partie sur des processus différents.
Relevant events in our environment are embedded in the complex, multisensory stream of information. Time perception is malleable, and numerous time illusions suggest that the perceived time of events is affected by context. The work presented in this thesis investigated how different aspects of human time perception and timing an action are affected by context. In the first part of the thesis, we investigated how the explicitness of the event onset affects perceived elapsed time between two points in time. The temporal context affected the estimates more in the implicit onset condition. The estimates were more biased towards the mean of the presented durations, and sensitivity of duration discrimination sensitivity was lower in the condition with no explicit onset of the duration to be timed. The effects of the temporal and spatial context on the perceived time of events were addressed in the second part. The findings suggest that the perceived time of events can be easily and compulsory biased by the temporal and spatial context. Findings from these studies support the hypothesis that the perceived time of events does not always correspond the the perceptual latencies measured in the reaction time tasks, and that the saliency is an important cue for the perceived time. Finally, in the third part, we investigated how different sources of uncertainty affect the timing and self-evaluation of an action. The findings suggest that timing an action and evaluating its outcome may, at least in part, rely on different computations.

▼ La mise en place d’un comportement semble en grande partie déterminée par la capacité du système cognitif à intégrer, au sein de représentations cohérentes, le flux continu d’informations provenant de l’environnement. Les travaux réalisés lors de cette thèse viennent modérer ce lien de causalité, et apportent des éléments en faveur d’une co-détermination de l’intégration des informations perceptives et de la mise en place d’un comportement moteur. En d’autres termes, cette thèse soutient l’idée que les actions effectuées par un individu ne sont pas seulement le produit d’une activité interne, mais sont aussi et surtout une condition de possibilité de la construction d’une représentation cohérente de nos interactions avec l’environnement.La première étude que nous avons réalisée a permis de mettre en évidence le rôle fonctionnel des réponses motrices dans le processus d’intégration. Dans une seconde étude, nous avons montré que les composants perceptifs et moteurs ne sont pas seulement co-activés lors de l’activité perceptive, mais bien intégrés les uns aux autres au sein d’une même représentation sensorimotrice. Enfin, notre dernière étude indique que la construction de telles représentations pourrait dépendre de l’intégration des conséquences sensorimotrices de nos actions. Pris dans une perspective plus large, l’ensemble de ces résultats souligne le rôle fondamental de l’action dans la cognition, et suggère finalement de reconsidérer la distinction stricte que nous opérons habituellement entre les éléments perceptifs et moteurs qui composent nos représentations.
The ability to integrate the vast amount of information coming from the environmentinto a coherent representation is usually considered a necessary conditionfor any behavior to take place. In this Ph.D. thesis, our proposal is to moderatethis apparent causality, and to bring new elements that support the idea of a codeterminationof the building of sensorimotor representations and the execution ofmotor behavior. In other words, we propose that actions are not only adapted toexternal constraints through an internal activity, but also contribute to the buildingof coherent representations of the world. Therefore, we made a series of experimentsto highlight the role of motor activity in the process of binding perceptiveinformation. The first study examined the functional role of motor responses inthe integration process, which were found to be a necessary condition for an integrationto take place. The second study investigated the link between perceptiveand motor components. The results showed that both are indeed integrated into acommon sensorimotor representation. Our final study shed light on the fact thatbuilding sensorimotor representations seems to rely on the integration of sensorimotoraction-effects. Taken together, our results point toward the critical role of motoractivity in cognitive processes, and question the relevance of distinguishing motorcomponents from perceptive ones.

▼ L’activité perceptive du sujet semble être impactée par les actions qu’il peut effectivement réaliser à l’égard de son environnement. Néanmoins, il semble que les possibilités d’action du sujet soient le plus souvent envisagées comme des propriétés objectives de l’environnement si bien qu’elles sont généralement décrites comme étant préparatoires à l’action. Ce travail de thèse s’est consacré à défendre l’idée que d’une part, ces possibilités d’action sont des propriétés émergentes de la relation sujet-environnement et que d’autre part, elles sont susceptibles d’avoir un rôle fonctionnel constitutif pour l’activité perceptive. Dans une première série d’études, nous avons observé que des modulations dans les possibilités d’action conduisaient à un renversement des effets de facilitation lorsque des sujets devaient catégoriser des objets préhensibles. Dans une seconde série d’étude, nous avons observé que la capacité à détecter un objet parmi un ensemble d’autres était impactée par les potentiels d’action suggérés par les objets mais également, modulée par l’engagement moteur du sujet dans la tâche. Enfin, dans une troisième série d’études, nous avons mis en évidence que les possibilités d’action pourraient occuper un rôle fonctionnel significatif pour l’activité perceptive du sujet. Ce dernier travail met en effet en évidence que lors de situations perceptives ambiguës, la manière dont est catégorisé un objet semble dépendre de la capacité du sujet à pouvoir le saisir efficacement. L’ensemble de ces résultats semble indiquer que les possibilités d’action sont bien des propriétés du couplage sujet-environnement et occupent une place majeure dans l’activité perceptive. Plus généralement, ces travaux constituent des arguments en faveur d’une prise en compte de l’ensemble de la situation sujet-environnement ainsi que de l’importance de la signification des actions du sujet en fonction des contraintes qui s’exercent sur lui ici et maintenant.
Perceptual activity seems to be impacted by the actions the subject can actually carry out with regard to its environment. Nevertheless, it seems that subject action possibilities are most often considered as objective properties of the environment so that they are generally described as being preparatory to action. This thesis work has been devoted to defending the idea that on the one hand, these possibilities of action are emergent properties of the subject-environment relationship and on the other hand, they are likely to have a constitutive functional role for perceptual activity. In a first series of studies we observed that modulations in the possibilities of action lead to a reversal of the facilitation effects when subjects were to categorize prehensile objects. In a second series of studies we observed that the ability to detect an object among a set of others was impacted by the action potentials suggested by the objects but also modulated by the subject's driving engagement in the task. Finally, in a third series of studies, we have shown that the possibilities of…

▼ L’effet de potentialisation motrice, initialement décrit par Tucker et Ellis (1998), correspond au bénéfice entrainé par l’action potentielle évoquée par la perception d’objets manipulables en lien avec le dispositif de réponse. Cet effet a été observé dans de nombreux contextes expérimentaux. Toutefois, il semble que cet effet ne s’observe pas lorsque la tâche des participants ne porte pas directement sur une caractéristique requise pour le contrôle de l’action (Tipper, Paul & Hayes, 2006) ou qui n’entraîne pas suffisamment d’attention sur l’objet (Ellis, Tucker, Symes & Vainio, 2007 ; Symes, Ellis & Tucker, 2005). Le cas particulier de l’identification de la couleur est un exemple dans lequel cet effet n’est généralement pas constaté (Symes et al. 2005 ; Tipper et al. 2006). En s’appuyant sur des travaux qui proposent une alternative aux théories dissociatives classiques du système visuel (Creem & Proffitt, 2001 ; Frey, 2007 ; Young, 2006 ; Derbyshire, Ellis & Tucker, 2006) et qui se basent essentiellement sur des processus de résonance motrice et de simulation comme condition nécessaire à l’identification et à la reconnaissance (Rizzolatti & Matelli, 2003 ; Bar, 2007 ; Berthoz & Petit, 2003), cette thèse a pour objet de spécifier les conditions d’observation du phénomène de potentialisation motrice en tâche d’identification chromatique. Pour ce faire, nous avons adapté le paradigme SRC modifié de Tucker et Ellis (1998) et le protocole d’amorçage développé par Phillips et Ward (2002) à l’étude de l’identification des couleurs d’objets manipulables. Les résultats que nous avons obtenus montrent une interaction entre l’identification de la couleur et les simulations motrices associées à la perception d’objets manipulables. Ces résultats sont discutés en faveur des modèles qui cherchent à réconcilier les approches écologiques et représentationnelles de la perception ainsi que de ceux qui insistent sur la nature profondément proactive et simulationniste du système perceptif.
Potentiation of action effect, originally described by Tucker and Ellis (1998), corresponds to the advantage led by action evoked by the perception of graspable objects related to the response device. These effects have been reported for many experimental conditions. However, this effect is not observed when the task is not directly about a characteristic required for action control (Tipper, Paul & Hayes, 2006) or when it does not allowed for enough attention on the object (Ellis, Tucker, Symes & Vainio, 2007; Symes, Ellis & Tucker, 2005). Color perception and identification is a particular case where these effects are generally not observed (Symes et al. 2005; Tipper et al. 2006). Relying on recent works that propose an alternative to theories of classic dissociation of the visual system (Creem & Proffitt, 2001; Frey, 2007; Young, 2006; Derbyshire, Ellis & Tucker, 2006) and that are essentially based on motor resonance and simulation processes as a condition to identification and recognition (Rizzolatti & Matelli, 2003; Bar, 2007; Berthoz &…

▼ Understanding the actions of others is crucial for all social interactions. Despite a dynamic and complicated social world, humans can derive the goals, attitudes and beliefs that drive others' actions, imbuing them with meaning and understanding. While such abilities were traditionally accounted for by a direct matching of observed actions to actions within the observer's motor system, contemporary theories of social perception explain them within a predictive processing framework. They argue that perception of others' actions is shaped by prior assumptions about their goals and intentions and the behaviours that these mental states predict. This thesis aimed to resolve whether people make such predictions, whether they are represented perceptually, and on which information they rely. Ten experiments utilized a variant of the classical Representational Momentum paradigm. They presented participants with the initial stages of a goal-directed action and asked them to make spatial judgments of its last seen position prior to sudden offset. As expected, the results revealed the top-down expectations that guide action perception. The findings revealed (1) that social predictions follow the principle of efficient action, biasing perception towards efficient action expectations, such that hands seen to reach straight towards an obstacle were perceptually lifted over it. These predictions were (2) derived spontaneously, were (3) perceptually represented, and emerged (4) from attributions of intentionality to the observed actor, even (5) when the action was already underway, based on the match between action kinematics and available target objects. The current findings provide direct evidence for predictive models of social perception. They confirm that the perceptual representation of others' actions is biased by the intentions we assign to them and our predictions of how these intentions will be fulfilled, therefore providing new avenues to understand how action expectations can shape our understanding of other people's actions.

▼ Les actions que les individus réalisent dans leur vie quotidienne sont soumises à un ensemble de contraintes physiques et sociales qui donnent un cadre à leur réalisation. Le but de cette thèse était d'apporter des arguments empiriques en faveur d'une approche intégrative selon laquelle ces contraintes influencent la perception visuelle de l'espace. Nous avons pour cela réalisé deux études comportementales sur l'influence des contraintes physiques sur la perception des distances (Articles 1 et 2) et une étude sur la perception d'une de ces contraintes (Article 3). Nous avons également réalisé trois études comportementales sur l'influence des contraintes sociales sur la perception de l'espace et des possibilités d'action (Articles 4, 5 et 7) ainsi qu'une simulation en robotique pour étudier davantage une de ces contraintes (Article 6). À première vue, nos résultats semblent indiquer que les contraintes des actions influencent la perception de l'espace. Cependant, des limites méthodologiques nous incitent à nuancer cette interprétation dans la mesure où certains de nos résultats pourraient refléter des biais de demande expérimentale plutôt que des effets perceptifs.
Actions that people can perform in their everyday life are subject to a lot of constraints which limit their ability to perform these actions. The main purpose of these doctoral researches was to provide empirical evidences for an integrative approach according to which these constraints influence the visual perception of space. We conducted two behavioral experiments to investigate the influence of physical constraints on distance perception (Papers 1 and 2) and one experiment to investigate the perception of one of these constraints (Paper 3). We also conducted three other behavioral experiments to investigate the potential influence of social constraints on the perception of space and affordances (Papers 4, 5, and 7) and one robotic simulation to gain more insight into one of these constraints (Paper 6). Our results seem to provide some supports to the hypothesis that action constraints influence the visual perception of space. However, some methodological flaws prevent us to draw firm conclusions about this general hypothesis given that some of our results might be better explained in terms of experimental demand biases rather than in terms of perceptual effects.

▼ A size-weight illusion (SWI) occurs when a large
object and small object of equal mass but different volume are
lifted and the small object is perceived as heavier than the large
object. All previous studies of the SWI used similar coloured
objects and found that individuals initially use more force to lift
the large object, compared to the small object but then use similar
forces for the two objects on subsequent lifts. In contrast to the
change in lifting forces over trials, the perceptual illusion stays
consistent across all trials. The goal of the current study was to
determine if introducing different colours for the SWI stimuli
could alter participants’ expectations about the masses of the two
objects and therefore modify the perceptual SWI. Participants
lifted SWI stimuli that were either identical in colour or stimuli
of different colour.

▼ Two experiments were conducted in an attempt to further the understanding of how
previously identified intrinsic constraints and perceptual factors interact in influencing
the learning and performance of various bimanual coordination patterns.
The purpose of Experiment 1 was to determine the influence of Lissajous feedback
on 1:1 bimanual coordination patterns (0°, 90°, 180° phase lags) when the movement
amplitudes of the two limbs were different. Participants coordinated rhythmic
movements of their forearms while being provided separate feedback for each limb (no-
Lissajous group) or integrated feedback (Lissajous group). Data from Experiment 1
supports the notion that the lead-lag relationship as well as amplitude assimilation
between limbs observed in the literature can be partially attributed to the visualperceptual
factors present in the testing environment. When participants are provided
integrated feedback in the form of Lissajous plots and templates much of the lead-lag
and amplitude assimilation effects were eliminated and relative phase error and
variability were also greatly reduced after only 3 min of practice under each condition.
Results from recent experiments suggest that when the salient visual information
(Lissajous feedback) is removed, performance in bimanual coordination tasks rapidly
deteriorates. The purpose of Experiment 2 was to determine if reducing the frequency of
feedback presentation will decrease the reliance on the feedback and will facilitate the
development of an internal representation that will improve performance when visual
feedback is removed. Participants receiving reduced frequency feedback presentation
were able to perform a delayed retention test with the feedback removed as well as the
test with feedback present. Data from Experiment 2 demonstrates that salient extrinsic
Lissajous feedback can effectively be combined with reduced frequency feedback
presentation in a way that performance levels, when tested without the availability of
feedback, match those obtained when tested in the presence of Lissajous feedback.
Taken together the present experiments add to the growing literature that supports
the notion that salient perceptual information can override some aspects of the system's
intrinsic dynamics typically linked to motor output control. The strong tendencies
toward the intrinsic dynamics found in numerous previous bimanual movement studies
and the difficulties in producing various coordination patterns may actually represent
detrimental effects attributable to the perceptual information available in the
environment and the attentional focus participants adopt. Given external integrated
salient visual information participants can essentially tune-in and learn difficult
bimanual coordination patterns with relatively little practice.

▼ Recent evidence suggests audiovisual perception changes as one engages in action. Specifically, if an audiovisual illusion comprised of 2 flashes and 1 beep is presented during the
high velocity portion of upper- limb movements, the influence of the auditory stimuli is subdued. The goal of this thesis was to examine if visuomotor regulation processes that rely on information obtained when the limb is traveling at a high velocity could explain this perceptual modulation. In the present study, to control for engagement in visuomotor regulation processes, vision of the environment was manipulated. In conditions without vision of the environment, participants did not show the noted modulation of the audiovisual illusion. Also, analysis of the movement trajectories and endpoint precision revealed that movements without vision were less controlled than movements performed with vision. These results suggest that engagement in visuomotor regulation processes can influence perception of certain audiovisual events during goal-directed action.

▼ When you want to pick up an object, it is usually a simple matter to reach out to its location, and accurately pick it up. Almost every
action in such a sequence is guided and checked by vision, with eye movements usually preceding motor actions (Hayhoe & Ballard, 2005; Hayhoe, Shrivastava, Mruczek, & Pelz, 2003). However, most research in this area has been concerned about the sequence of movements in complex “everyday” tasks like making tea or tool use. Less emphasis has been placed on the object itself and where on it the eye and hand movements land, and how gaze behaviour is different when generating a perceptual response to that same object. For those studies that have, very basic geometric shapes have been used such as rectangles, crosses and triangles. In everyday life, however, there are a range of problems that must be computed that go beyond such simple objects. Objects typically have complex contours, different textures or surface properties, and variations in their centre of mass.
Accordingly, the primary goals in conducting this research were three fold: (1) To provide a deeper understanding of the function of gaze in
perception and
action when interacting with simple and complex objects (Experiments 1a, 1b, 1c); (2) To examine how gaze and grasp behaviours are influenced when you dissociate important features of an object such as the COM and the horizontal centre of the block (Experiments 2a, 2c); and (3) To explore whether perceptual biases will influence grasp and gaze behaviours (Experiment 2b).
The results from the current series of studies showed the influence of
action (i.e., the potential to act) on
perception in terms of where we look on an object, and vice versa, the influence of perceptual biases on
action output (i.e. grasp locations). In addition, grasp locations were found to be less sensitive to COM changes than previously suggested (for example see Kleinholdermann, Brenner, Franz, & Smeets, 2007), whereas fixation locations were drawn towards the ‘visual’ COM of objects, as shown in other perceptual studies (for example see He & Kowler, 1991; Kowler & Blaser, 1995; McGowan, Kowler, Sharma, & Chubb, 1998; Melcher & Kowler, 1999; Vishwanath & Kowler, 2003, 2004; Vishwanath, Kowler, & Feldman, 2000), even when a motor response was required. The implications of these results in terms of vision for
Perception and vision for
Action are discussed.

▼ To interact efficiently with the environment, one must put in correspondence spatial perceptive information with adequate motor behavior. How these percepts are converted in motor responses and the eventual implication of magnitude processing (estimation of distances, sizes, weights…) in this conversion is not perfectly understood. This thesis aims to investigate if action representations, numerical cognition and space perception share common functional mechanisms. To do so, several experimental priming and interference paradigms were used to examine how moderating represented body capabilities and processing numbers can influence spatial categorization and distance estimation. The observation reported in the present work support the implication of dynamic body capability representations and a common magnitude processing system in space perception.

▼ The research reported in the present explored the interaction between perception and action, focusing on how this might occur under memory conditions. This was done in line with the proposals of grounded cognition and situated action, in which action and perception are tightly linked, and able to influence one another in order to aid the performance of a task. Following this idea of a bi-directional loop between the two processes, studies were conducted which focused on each side of this relationship, in conditions where memory would be necessary. The first experiments investigated how the perception of objects and the memory of those perceived objects could influence the production of actions. Later studies examined how the preparation and performance of actions could affect the perception of a scene, and subsequent recall of the objects presented. Throughout these studies, object properties (e.g., shape, colour, position) were used as a means to either manipulate or measure the effect of the tasks. The findings of the studies suggested that weighting an off-line memory representation by means of the task setting was possible, but that this was not an automatic occurrence. Based on the results obtained, it seemed that there were conditions which would affect whether memories could be tailored to the current demands of the tasks, and that these conditions were linked to the realism of the situation. Factors such as the task complexity, the potential for object interaction and the immersive environment were all suggested as possible contributors to the construction and use of weighted representations. Overall, the studies conducted suggest that memory can play a role in guiding action, as on-line perception does, so long as the situation makes it clear that this is necessary. If such weightings are useful, then the memory will be constructed accordingly. However, if the situation is such that there is no clear task, then the memory representations will remain unaffected and unprepared for one specific action, or not be used to aid action. Memory can be seen as serving action, but our memory systems are flexible, allowing us to cope with the demands and restrictions of particular situations.

▼ The way we act upon the world influences our visual perception of it. For instance, previous work has found visual perceptual enhancement at the targets of upcoming saccades (e.g. Deubel & Schneider, 1996) and pointing movements (e.g. Deubel, Schneider, & Paprotta, 1998). Visual perceptual enhancement has also been found along the trajectories of manual movements (Festman, Adam, Pratt, & Fischer, 2013a, 2013b), but the area surrounding static hands have also been found to receive perceptual enhancement (Reed, Grubb, & Steele, 2006). The initial question addressed by the present thesis was whether the preparation of a manual movement would also induce perceptual enhancement at the effector location (i.e. the movement’s start point). In other words, do people not only attend where they are going, but also where they are coming from? To address this question, the novel aspect of our task was that participants not only had to select the movement target, but also the moving hand. Across the eight experiments of the present thesis we applied variations on a popular experimental task, asking our participants to conduct pointing movements and studying how this influenced their allocation of visuospatial attention. This was measured by recording whether they could successfully identify a discrimination target (DT), with the discrimination rates at different locations taken to index the amount of attention allocated there. Our first four experiments found evidence for enhancement at the starting point of a movement, but this effect was inconsistent and appeared to compete with other mechanisms for orienting attention. For example, our first experiment found enhancement only at the target location, which may have been induced by having used predictable locations for the DT, whereas Experiment 4 found only an enhancement at both hands, static and responding, which might have been due to the ability to plan the movements in advance. Since in each trial in Experiment 4 participants had to execute one movement out of only two possibilities, this may have allowed them to pre-program both movements before each trial and execute them from memory. In Experiment 5 we increased the number of potential movement targets in order to increase the difficulty of target selection and reduce movement predictability, while also lowering the DT presentation times. Under this more challenging paradigm we found perceptual enhancement only at the movement target, but also that the perceptual task was too difficult for half of our participants. Did we fail to induce enhancement at multiple locations because of the specific task our participants were executing, or due to a general inability to do so within this more challenging version of the experimental paradigm? To address this question we decided to test whether we could still induce perceptual enhancement at two locations within these experimental parameters, but attempting to replicate the work of Baldauf, Wolf and Deubel (2006). They had reported that carrying out pointing sequences resulted in…

▼ The representation of ourselves and our environment is based on the combination of information from multiple sensory systems. Each sensory modality is represented within a different frame of reference, in other words each sensory system uses a different code to represent the same properties of the environment (ex. visual stimuli in an eye-centered frame of reference; hand position would be shoulder-centered). Combing this information into a singular coordinate frame is complex. For instance, the eye and shoulder have different centers of rotation, therefore any changes in eye position or body posture will affect the relationship between them. What is still unknown is how the brain integrates these different sources of information into an internal representation, and what effect extra-retinal signals can have on this process. This thesis was designed to investigate the effect of head roll on action and perception. In Experiment 1, we wanted to determine how the integration of vision and proprioception for action was affected by changes in head roll. To investigate this question subjects performed a reaching task at three different head roll positions, where they would experience conflicts between their viewed and actual hand position. In Experiment 2, we examined the influence of head roll on sensory perception. To explore this idea subjects performed a task where they needed to judge the position of their unseen index fingertip relative to a visual target. Our findings reveal that eccentric head roll conditions influence both action and perception – revealed by an increase in movement variability and a decreased ability to discriminate the position of the unseen fingertip relative to visual targets. In summary, we have discovered that introducing eccentric head roll positions affects the perception of ourselves within the environment and the way that we integrate sensory information.

▼ Tirer un trait pourrait être considéré comme un acte du quotidien, un acte banal, machinal, fonctionnel. Mais cet acte n'est pas anodin: il engage son auteur et l'écriture est un apprentissage parfois difficile.Nous avons abordé le tracé, comme une expérience de la trace (Derrida), expérience singulière vécue du point de vue des sujets en situation de formation. Pour cela, nous avons choisi une activité de calligraphie proposée en formation continue à des professeurs des écoles Cette activité vise indirectement l'apprentissage de l'écriture pour des enfants de 3 à 7ans.Lors d'une activité de calligraphie, le trait de pinceau n'admet pas de repentir. Le "geste décisif" (Cheng) revêt un relief particulier en relation avec la prise de risque qui l'accompagne.Berthoz propose d'aborder la prise de décision comme un différentiel, non seulement entre deux vues (Derrida), mais entre deux corps : entre le corps de “chair sensible” et le corps “interne”, “virtuel” "émulé" par notre cerveau. Entre « invu »(Derrida) et présence virtuelle, la trace n'est pas qu'un objet visible exposé à soi-même comme à autrui, et la comprendre suppose d'embrasser l'ensemble du processus de production du tracé. Ce dernier a été compris en tant qu'acte réalisé du point de vue d'un sujet percevant, au sens de Merleau-Ponty.L'entretien d'aide à l'explicitation mis au point par P. Vermersch a été utilisé pour recueillir de l'information du point de vue du sujet et tenter d'accéder au « vécu de l'expérience ». Ainsi, nous avons réalisé dix-sept entretiens auprès de deux groupes d'enseignants. Le processus d'explicitation vise plus particulièrement à appréhender l'expression du point de vue du sujet en première personne. C'est pourquoi dans un deuxième temps, nous sommes allés aux marges du processus d'explicitation pour nous intéresser à l'expression en troisième personne. En différenciant point de vue en première personne et expression en première personne, nous avons envisagé un point du vue "polyphonique" du sujet parlant (Ducrot) et nous avons constaté que la présence d'une expression en troisième personne, dans ce qui est dit, rend compte de ce qui apparaît comme imperceptible au sujet parlant.L'expression en troisième personne, notamment par la présence de pronoms "démonstratifs" dans ce qui est dit, marque un passage entre un re-vécu de l'acte graphique qui peut se décrire, et un re-vécu d'événements antérieurs qui peut se reconstituer, comme une archéologie de l'histoire singulière du sujet.L'expression émotionnelle, énoncée comme un "re-senti", accompagne ce passage entre explicité et implicite. Elle exprime dans ce qui est dit une possible articulation entre ces deux dimensions (ou deux espaces) de l'expérience. Tout d'abord, la description de l'
action re-vécue rend compte de micro-décisions, en amont du tracé calligraphique, qui participent d'un savoir-faire subtil, par lequel les sujets mettent en con-form-ité différents champs de
perception. Le tracé est dit réussi par les sujets lorsqu'il est con-forme au tracé pré-vu (voir « ça…là ») et…

▼ La théorie dominante suggérant une séparation entre une vision consciente pour la perception et une vision non consciente pour l'action au sein du système visuel fut particulièrement discutée au cours des dernières décennies. La thèse défendue ici se positionne dans le cadre d'une approche alternative reposant sur une évaluation conjointe des réponses motrice et perceptive en présence de stimuli au seuil perceptif. Les travaux réalisés dans ce contexte ont initialement porté sur les temps de réaction et ont contribué au développement d'un modèle psychophysique postulant que les réponses perceptives et motrices dépendraient d'un signal sensoriel unique mais de seuils de décision spécifiques. Les trois études réalisées au cours de cette thèse ont permis de tester ces propositions à partir de travaux portant sur le contrôle moteur manuel. Tout en confirmant une forte association entre les traitements visuels pour la perception et pour l'action, ces travaux ont permis de mettre en évidence un rôle important des conditions expérimentales (par exemple le contraste des stimuli et la présence ou non d'un masque visuel) dans les résultats obtenus. Les résultats se sont révélés compatibles avec les modèles neurophysiologiques du masquage visuel qui postulent que la réponse neurale à une stimulation visuelle est constituée d'une vague d'activation feedforward associée à la présence physique de la stimulation et de boucles de rétroaction liées à la perception consciente de celle-ci. Nos travaux ont également permis d'adapter au contrôle moteur manuel le modèle de décision à signal unique initialement développé dans le cadre des études portant sur les temps de réaction.
The dominant position of a separation between a conscious vision for perception and an unconscious vision for action within the visual system has been particularly discussed in the last decades. The present dissertation is to be placed in the context of an alternative approach consisting in evaluating jointly both perceptual and motor responses in the presence of near-treshold visual stimuli. Previous work within this framework, which have mainly concerned reaction times, have contributed to develop a psychophysical model in which perceptual and motor decision are taken relatively to the same single incoming signal but are based on different tresholds. The three studies conducting during this PhD aimed to testing these proposals in experiments involving manual motor control. While confirming the strong link between perceptual and motor processing within the visual system, the results obtained in these studies underlined the importance of experimental parameters such as the contrast of the stimuli and the presence of visual masks. These results are congruent with neurophysiological models of visual masking, which postulate that the neural response to a visual stimulus is composed of a transient feedforward sweep of activation related to the presence of as stimulus and recurrent feedback loops linked to the conscious perception of this stimulus. Our work also led…

▼ Cette thèse s’inscrit dans une approche incarnée de la cognition sociale, selon laquelle la capacité à comprendre les états mentaux d’autres individus ne nécessite aucune inférence mais repose plutôt sur l’expérience immédiate des informations sensori-motrices perçues lors d’interactions sociales. D’importantes limites ont été formulées à l’encontre de cette approche. Il est notamment considéré qu’elle ne peut rendre compte de phénomènes dits de « hauts niveaux » de mentalisation, comme l’inférence d’intentions sociales, puisqu’il n’existe pas de relations systématiques entre ces dernières et les systèmes de la perception et de l’action. A travers les études de cette thèse, nous avons tout d’abord mis en évidence des altérations systèmatiques de la cinématique de mouvements volontaires selon les intentions sociales poursuivies. Précisément, lorsqu’une action est produite avec l’intention de servir à un partenaire, ses caractéristiques spatio-temporelles sont amplifiées. Ensuite, nous avons démontré que ces déformations cinématiques étaient fonction des propriétés physiques, et particulièrement de la hauteur des yeux du partenaire. Enfin, nos résultats montrent que ces déformations cinématiques sont implicitement traitées lors d’interactions sociales et qu’elles entraînent l’inférence spontanée d’intention sociale. De façon intéressante, la capacité des participants à accéder à ces informations privées à partir de variations cinématiques était fortement liée à leurs capacités explicites de mentalisation. Ainsi, cette thèse fournit les premières évidences expérimentales soutenant la possibilité d’accéder spontanément aux intentions sociales d’autres personnes à partir de processus perceptifs et moteurs.
This thesis assumes a grounded approach to social cognition, which defends that our abilities to understand others’ mental states rely on our immediate experience of sensori-motor informations in social interactions and do not need any inference processes. Some critical theorethical limits have been addressed to this approach to social cognition. Typically, it is considered that this conception can not explain high order mentalization, as, for example, the inference of social intentions, because there are not systematic links between those cognitive constructs and the systems of perception and action. Through the studies of this thesis, we have in a first time showed that the kinematics of voluntary movements are influenced by the type of social intention that is endorsed by participants. Precisely, when an action is produced for a partner, its spatio-temporal characteristics are amplified. Then, we have demonstrated that these kinematic variations are influenced by the physical properties of the partner, and particularly by the eyes’ level. Finally, our results showed that these typical kinematic variations are implicitly processed during social interaction and that they can trigger spontaneous social intention attribution. Interestingly, the ability of participants to access others’ mental states from motor action…

▼ Action simulation has been proposed as a unifying mechanism for imagination, perception and execution of action. In children, there has been considerable focus on the development of action imagination, although these findings have not been related to other processes that may share similar mechanisms. The purpose of the research reported in this thesis was to examine action imagination and perception (action possibility judgements) from late childhood to adolescence. Accordingly, imagined and perceived movement times (MTs) were compared to actual MTs in a continuous pointing task as a function of age. The critical finding was that differences between actual and imagined MTs remained relatively stable across the age groups, whereas perceived MTs approached actual MTs as a function of age. These findings suggest that although action simulation may be developed in early childhood, action possibility judgements may rely on additional processes that continue to develop in late childhood and adolescence.

▼ Social perception is dynamic and ambiguous. Whilst previous research favoured bottom-up views where observed actions are matched to higher level (or motor) representations, recent accounts suggest top-down processes where prior knowledge guides perception of others’ actions, in a predictive manner. This thesis investigated how person-specific models of others’ typical behaviour in different situations are reactivated when they are re-encountered and predict their actions, using strictly controlled computer-based action identification tasks, event-related potentials (ERPs), as well as recording participants’ actions via motion tracking (using the Microsoft Kinect Sensor). The findings provided evidence that knowledge about seen actor’s typical behaviour is used in action observation. It was found, first, that actions are identified faster when performed by an actor that typically performed these actions compared to another actor who only performed them rarely (Chapters Two and Three). These effects were specific to meaningful actions with objects, not withdrawals from them, and went along with action-related ERP responses (oERN, observer related error negativity). Moreover, they occurred despite current actor identity not being relevant to the task, and were largely independent of the participants’ ability to report the individual’s behaviour. Second, the findings suggested that these predictive person models are embodied such that they influenced the observers own motor systems, even when the relevant actors were not seen acting (Chapter Four). Finally, evidence for theses person-models were found when naturalistic responding was required when participants had to use their feet to ‘block’ an incoming ball (measured by the Microsoft Kinect Sensor), where they made earlier and more pronounced movements when the observed actor behaved according to their usual action patterns (Chapter Five). The findings are discussed with respect to recent predictive coding theories of social perception, and a new model is proposed that integrates the findings.

▼ Over the past decade evidence has accumulated showing that performance of attention, perception, and memory related tasks are influenced by placing the observer's hands near the stimuli. Two theories have been proposed to account for these effects. The attentional account holds performance is altered due to changed attentional prioritization of hands-proximal space, while the differential pathways hypothesis holds processing of stimuli near the hands is dominated by the magnocellular visual pathway resulting in the variety of documented effects. Here we test whether perceptual grouping processes are inhibited in hand-proximal space. Consistent with previous work on object-based attention, we find a benefit for the visual object in the hands-distal, but not the hands-proximal, condition suggesting perceptual grouping is impaired near the hands. This change in perceptual grouping processes cannot be explained solely by an attentional account of visual processing changes near the hands.

The illusion consists of two inner circles of the same size, with one circle surrounded by a group of larger circles, and the other circle surrounded by a group of smaller circles. Due to the context of the surrounding circles, individuals perceive the inner circle surrounded by the smaller outer circles to be larger, when in fact, both inner circles are the same size. This thesis presents the first evidence of the existence of the Ebbinghaus illusion in the tactile modality. Participants underwent various tactile-tactile and tactile-visual conditions to actively explore Ebbinghaus illusion sets. Our results show that participants are more likely to be deceived when the illusory stimulus (the Ebbinghaus set) is present compared to when the control stimulus (no illusion) is present in a tactile
perception condition. Further, our results demonstrate that in a visual-tactile condition, the perceptual system is not deceived, even though the illusion deceives participants in both touch and vision alone. These results contribute to the two-stream hypothesis
perception-
action debate, which states that the pathways for
action and
perception are separated in the visual system.

▼ Recent efforts to explain the underlying mechanisms of action observation have resulted in several theoretical frameworks. The Common Coding framework proposes that the perception and action areas of the brain share representations of visual and motor feedback such that areas are activated concurrently, there is a benefit to an individual’s perceptual ability and confidence. The MOSAIC framework, on the other hand, proposes that these benefits derive from self generations of motor commands during voluntary movement. This study aimed to observe the effects of concurrent motor activity on perceptual ability and judgments of performance. Participants observed an animated avatar performing pairs of symbol tracings on a screen. Participants were also placed into one of three concurrent movement groups: voluntary concurrent symbol tracing, non-voluntary concurrent symbol tracing or observation (no concurrent symbol tracing). It was expected that the group with voluntary concurrent movement would exhibit a higher perceptual accuracy and greater ability to judge performance than both the non-voluntary concurrent movement group and the observation group. However, all participants demonstrated the same level of perceptual accuracy, regardless of the level of concurrent movement. The decreased ability for voluntary movement participants was likely due to significant movement initiation time delays associated with cognitive processing of visual stimuli. As such, voluntary participants did not move in synchrony with the display. Nevertheless, both movement groups had a greater ability of judging performance, suggesting that judgments of performance may be obtained using different pathways than those involved in perceptual accuracy. Findings support both the Common Coding and MOSAIC frameworks, suggesting that a perceptual benefit can only be obtained when movement is in synchrony with perception.

▼ La perception visuelle de l’espace est largement déterminée par les capacités visuelles des individus. Cependant, la recherche sur l’influence de variables dites non visuelles semble indiquer une importance déterminante des dimensions corporelle et émotionnelle sur la perception visuelle. Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à la perception des distances et avons tenté de comprendre en quoi nos perceptions pouvaient refléter la nature de nos interactions sensorimotrices avec notre environnement. Dans une première étude nous avons montré que des contraintes d’actions, tel que le coût énergétique, générées par les dispositions de l’environnement, pouvaient avoir une influence sur la perception de distances allocentriques. Dans une seconde étude, nous avons tenté de mettre en évidence le rôle du processus d’intégration sensorimotrice dans des tâches d’évaluation de distances, ainsi que de comprendre l’influence des modalités non visuelles, telles que l’audition et la motricité, dans ce même type de tâche. Enfin, dans une troisième étude, nous nous sommes intéressés au concept de fluence – i.e., information métacognitive renseignant le système sur la qualité de ses interactions dans son environnement – et proposons l’idée selon laquelle ce signal contenu dans le flux perceptif permettrait d’expliquer différentes variations perceptives liées aux contraintes de nos actions. Finalement, cette thèse défend une approche unifiée de la perception, selon laquelle la limite entre les concepts d’action et de perception devrait être repensée afin de rendre compte de la nature sensorimotrice de nos connaissances.
Visual perception of space is mainly known as depending upon one’s vision capacity. However, research about the influence of non-visual variables seems to indicate that the body also plays an important role in visual perception. In this Ph.D. thesis, we support the idea that distance perception has to be studied as a function of the sensorimotor interactions between the individuals and their environment. In the first study, we showed that action constraints in the environment such as energetic cost could influence allocentric distance perception. In the second study, we focused on the role of the sensorimotor integration process in distance perception tasks, as well as the influence of non-visual variables such as audition and motor activity. In the third study, we investigated the phenomenology of perception, and more precisely in the relative fluency of motor activity. In other words, we focused here on the metacognitive feedback that emerges from the quality of the interactions with the environment. We highlighted that such a metacognitive signal could explain the influence of action constraints on distance perception. Finally, this work provides strong supports to the idea of an integrative approach of perception according to which the theoretical boundary between perception and action is questioned by the sensorimotor nature of our knowledge.

▼ Ce travail a pour objet d’étude l’émergence d’effets d’affordance dans la schizophrénie. En effet, les troubles de l’action, observés chez les patients schizophrènes, pourraient être la conséquence d'un déficit de l’intégration sensorimotrice, ne permettant pas le couplage entre perception et action. En lien avec les théories de la cognition incarnée et située, nous avons fait l’hypothèse que l’enrichissement de la situation puisse permette l’émergence de ce lien dans cette population. Pour ce faire, nous avons décliné 5 expériences qui utilisent le paradigme SRC (Stimulus-Response-Compatibility). L’expérience 2 se focalise sur l’intégration visuo-spatiale, tandis que les 4 autres portent sur l’effet de potentialisation des actions lors de la perception d’objets manipulables (Tucker & Ellis, 1998), selon différentes conditions: sans amorçage (expérience 1), avec amorçage renforçant le sentiment de propriété des objets (expérience 3) ou les buts de l’action (expérience 4) et avec amorçage moteur (expérience 5). Nos résultats mettent en évidence l’émergence d’un effet de compatibilité visuo-spatiale (expérience 2) et sensorimotrice (expérience 1), dans le groupe de témoins. Toutefois, cet effet n’est pas retrouvé lorsque l’amorçage est incongruent avec les objets présentés (expériences 3 et 4) ou lorsqu’il implique un amorçage moteur (expérience 5). Dans le groupe de patients schizophrènes, bien que l’effet de compatibilité visuo-spatiale soit mis en évidence (expérience 2), l’effet de compatibilité sensorimotrice n’est retrouvé que lorsque la perception des objets est précédée d’une préparation motrice (expérience 5). Ces résultats sont discutés à la lueur des connaissances issues des théories de la cognition incarnée et située, et des travaux centrés sur les troubles de l’action retrouvés dans la schizophrénie.
This thesis studies the emergence of affordance effects in schizophrenia. Indeed, the disorders of action present in schizophrenic patients might be the consequence of deficit in sensorimotor integration, making difficult the link between perception and action. Related to the embodied cognition framework, we hypothesized that the enhancement of context would allow the emergence of this link in this population. Then, we planned 5 experiments using the SRC paradigm (Stimulus-Response-Compatibility). Experiment 2 emphasizes visuo-spatial integration. The four others focus on the effect of potentiation of actions during perception of handling objects (Tucker & Ellis, 1998), depending on different experimental conditions: without priming (experiment 1), with priming reinforcing feeling of being owner of objects (experiment 3) or reinforcing the aims of action (experiment 4) and with motor priming (experiment 5). In the control group, our results show emergence of visuo-spatial (experiment 2) and sensorimotor (experiment 1) compatibility effects. However, this effect is not present when priming is not congruent with presented objects (experiment 3 and 4) or in case of motor priming (experiment 5). In patients,…

▼ L'activité théorique et pratique d'Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) soulève un certain nombre de problèmes esthétiques, ceux posés par une organisation qui soutient la collaboration entre artistes et ingénieurs, à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur du monde de l'art. Cette thèse interroge l'irruption, jugée symptomatique, de la question environnementale en art, et la mobilisation, par les principaux acteurs d'E.A.T., du concept équivoque d'environnement pour désigner non seulement ce qui nous entoure, mais aussi ce qui peut nous influencer. En confrontant les propos de John Cage, Robert Whitman et Robert Rauschenberg sur leur pratique à des œuvres de références attestant de l'imprégnation des technologies dans nos existences on identifie une approche environnementale qui participe d'une explicitation, par l'art, de l'environnement contemporain. Ces artistes s'efforcent en effet de mettre en évidence, par leur travail, les qualités esthétiques d'un environnement naturel et artificiel, à l'égard duquel on ne peut plus être indifférent. L'attention portée à la perception dans l'expérience de cet environnement, témoigne d'un intérêt commun pour une physique phénoménale qui, bien qu'en relation avec des préoccupations scientifiques, s'en démarque cependant. Il s'agit non seulement de transformer cet environnement diffus en un espace perçu, mais également d'interroger la place et le rôle de l'artiste dans la mise en forme de l'environnement humain. S'élabore ainsi avec E.A. T., une recherche-action centrée sur l'individu, et qui envisage la possibilité, non plus simplement de vivre dans, mais d'exister avec son environnement.
The theoretical and practical activity of Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A. T.) raises a number of aesthetic problems - those posed by an organization whose aim was to facilitate and encourage collaboration between artists and engineers, both inside and outside the art world. This thesis investigates the eruption of environmental issues in art and the use made by E.A.T.'s main actors of the ambiguous concept of the environment, a concept which includes not only what surrounds us but also that which can have an influence on us. By juxtaposing and comparing what John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman had to say about their practice with key works on the infiltration of technology into our lives, we will identify an environmental approach that is part of an “explicitation” of the contemporary environment by and through art. These artists strive to highlight, through their work, the aesthetic qualities of a natural and artificial environment, the consequences of which cannot leave us untouched or indifferent. The focus on perception in the experience of this environment reflects a common interest in a 'phenomenal physics' which, even if related scientific concerns, also differs significantly from them. It is not only a question of the transformation of this pervasive environment into a perceived space but also a matter of investigating the place and role of the artist in the…

▼ Les robots de téléprésence sont proposés à des étudiants dont la maladie, l’hospitalisation ou la situation de handicap, empêche la présence physique en classe. La mise en place de cette technologie, s’inscrit dans une logique d’inclusion scolaire, visant une forme de présence de l’étudiant, dans un établissement scolaire ou universitaire dit « ordinaire ». Cependant, aucune étude préalable n’a été réalisée pour rendre compte des dimensions inclusives de cette technologie dans un contexte éducatif. La présence d’un étudiant, médiatisée par un dispositif de téléprésence, démultiplie les espaces d’interactions qui se trouvent situés dans des environnements à la fois physiques et numériques. En effet, l’étudiant utilisateur du robot de téléprésence, dispose de possibilités d’actions dans un environnement distant, qu’il produit à travers un environnement numérique. Cette situation inédite révèle des espaces potentiels de perception et d’action sur le monde et transforme la modalité de présence de l’utilisateur. L’objectif de cette recherche est de proposer une conceptualisation des enjeux de l’utilisation de ce dispositif, dans une visée d’inclusion scolaire. Il s’agit d’une théorisation qui est ancrée dans l’expérience vécue par des étudiants qui utilisent un robot de téléprésence pour des raisons de santé, afin de participer à leurs enseignements. La compréhension de ces expériences subjectives des utilisateurs, assure l’ancrage empirique de notre conceptualisation, dont les résultats mettent en avant les concepts centraux de perception et d’action, qui s’inscrivent dans le concept de présence. Ainsi, dans un contexte d’enseignement configuré en présentiel et médiatisé par un robot de téléprésence, l’inclusion scolaire de l’étudiant utilisateur, se rapporte à une renégociation perceptive réciproque, de la coprésence de l’utilisateur et de l’environnement distant.
Telepresence robots are offered to students whose illness, hospitalization or disability, prevents physical presence in the classroom. The implementation of this technology, is part of a logic of inclusive education, aimed at a form of presence of the student, in a school or university called "ordinary". However, no prior study has been done to account for the inclusive dimensions of this technology in an educational context. The presence of a student, mediated by a device of telepresence, multiplies the spaces of interactions which are located in environments both physical and digital. Indeed, the student user of the telepresence robot has the possibility of actions in a remote environment, which he produces through a digital environment. This unprecedented situation reveals potential spaces of perception and action on the world and transforms the modality of presence of the user. The objective of this research is to propose a conceptualization of the stakes of the use of this device, in a goal of inclusive education. It is a theorization that is rooted in the experience of students using a telepresence robot for health reasons, to participate in their…

▼ Our ability to plan actions, interpret other people’s behavior, and predict the outcomes of physical events is profoundly influenced by our understanding of object weight and the ability to recognize its consequences. Given its importance, it is perhaps unsurprising that an understanding of object weight begins in infancy. Prior work demonstrates that infants’ understanding of object weight is primarily garnered through their interactions with objects and that they can apply this understanding in order to guide their actions. However, we know far less about other applications of this knowledge in infancy and whether bodily factors that influence the acquisition of experience interacting with objects play a role. This dissertation demonstrates that infants can apply an understanding of object weight in order to guide
action in novel contexts (Chapter 2), interpret and predict the outcome of physical events (Chapter 3), and understand another person’s actions (Chapter 4). In addition, this dissertation demonstrates that strength, a bodily factor that gates the acquisition of experience interacting with objects, influences infants’ understanding of object weight when observing another person’s actions but not when reasoning about physical events. Altogether, these studies demonstrate that by the end of their first year, infants’ understanding of object weight is already flexible (i.e., applied in areas outside of
action production in familiar contexts) and sophisticated (i.e., used to reason abstractly about the outcome of physical events).

▼ L’objectif de cette thèse est de comprendre le comportement cinématique d’interception latérale manuelle et locomotrice. Dans l’introduction nous montrons que l’étude du mouvement d’interception peut être engagée avec les concepts de la perception directe et du couplage perception-action. De nombreux travaux ont montré qu’une stratégie prospective serait mise en oeuvre pour intercepter un mobile mais un débat existe quant à la double question (i) quelle information est utilisée pour réguler le mouvement ? (ii) comment est utilisée cette information ? Pour répondre nous avons utilisé la réalité virtuelle. Dans le premier chapitre expérimental nous montrons que les variables environnementales qui ont émergées de la littérature ne peuvent expliquer seules les régulations du mouvement d’interception. Dans le deuxième chapitre expérimental nous proposons qu’une variable d’ordre intermédiaire plutôt qu’entier pourrait guider le mouvement. Enfin dans le troisième chapitre expérimental nous apportons des éléments de preuve en faveur du concept d’information d’ordre fractionnaire qui augmenterait au cours de l’action. Nous développons dans ces deux dernières études deux modèles dynamiques qui nous permettent de simuler de façon satisfaisante le comportement cinématique d’interception latérale pour une situation donnée. Plus généralement, nous suggérons, quant à l’ensemble des modèles dynamiques formalisant les interactions perception-action, que cette proposition conceptuelle pourrait permettre de plus larges avancées encore si l’on considérait l’éventuelle sensibilité des différents organismes vivants aux informations d’ordre intermédiaire plutôt que nécessairement entier.
The goal of the present thesis was to understand the operative perception-action relations underlying the kinematic patterns of movement observed in manual and locomotor lateral interception. The introduction sets the stage for this endeavor, calling upon the theoretical concepts of direct perception and information-movement coupling, understood as a particular form of the online control of movement. Whereas a large body of work has demonstrated that interception is based on a prospective control strategy, debate persists as to the double question of (i) what information is that used to regulate the movement and (ii) how this information is used in the regulation of movement. To address these questions our general methodology was based on interception tasks presented in virtual reality settings. In the first experimental chapter we demonstrate that neither of the two variables proposed in the literature could by themselves explain the kinematic patterns observed. Integrating an modeling approach based on attractor dynamics, the second experimental chapter provides first evidence for reliance on a variable of intermediate rather than integer order. In the third experimental chapter we take our modeling approach one step further and demonstrate that reliance on information of a trajectory-dependent fractional order allows capturing the qualitative and…
