title: Postintentional neglect.
abstract: F. Mechsner (2004) seems to deny a functional importance of postintentional processes, except that their characteristics can be taken into account at the perceptual-cognitive level of control. In that perspective, processes that are critical for the understanding of motor control and its limitations are neglected. On the other hand, the functional importance of task conceptions or task sets, which can vary and affect performance even for tasks that appear identical to an observer, is emphasized.
