[Object-related action: use of recall in anticipation and performance].
Consideration of the course of everyday actions during which real objects are manipulated would suggest that the sequence of individual activities should be represented in the memory not as a chain but as a network with specific characteristics. These characteristics would appear to indicate that activities which directly change parts of the environment are more memorable than shifts of attention during the performance of the action. The results of Experiment 1 support this view. Furthermore, it may be supposed that complex actions are not anticipated in their entirety before being performed, but only partially. Hypotheses concerning the temporal order of the parts of the anticipation process were tested in Experiment 2, the results supporting the hypotheses. Altogether, the results obtained confirm certain basic assumptions relating to the memory model Net of Recallable Action.
