Topic: goal-directed pointing movements

Individuals regularly have to decide upon motor actions to be performed. Motor decision-making involves the selection between and specification of potential action plans (Cisek, 2007) and necessitates the integration of perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes (Cisek & Kalaska, 2010; van Ede & Nobre, 2023). The influence of cognitive load during decision-making on subsequent motor action execution remains largely unexplored (Gordon et al., 2021). This study investigates the influence of working memory (WM) load on goal-directed pointing movements, hypothesizing that increased WM load
