Recent work has demonstrated that the sense of agency is not only determined by efference-copy-based internal predictions and internal comparator mechanisms, but by a large variety of different internal and external cues. The study by Moore and colleagues [Moore, J. W., Wegner, D. M., & Haggard, P. (2009). Modulating the sense of agency with external cues. Conscious and Cognition] aimed to provide further evidence for this view by demonstrating that external agency cues might outweigh or even substitute efferent signals to install a basic registration of self-agency. Although the study contains some critical points that, so we argue, are central to a proper interpretation of the data, it hints at a new perspective on agency: optimal cue integration seems to be the key to a robust sense of agency. We here argue that this framework could allow integrating the findings of Moore and colleagues and other recent agency studies into a comprehensive picture of the sense of agency and its pathological disruptions.
最近的研究表明,主体感不仅由基于传出副本的内部预测和内部比较机制决定,还由各种不同的内部和外部线索决定。摩尔等人的研究[Moore,JW,韦格纳,DM 和哈格德,P.(2009)。通过外部线索调节主体感。意识与认知]旨在通过证明外部主体线索可能超过甚至替代传出信号来建立自我主体的基本登记,为这一观点提供进一步的证据。尽管该研究包含一些关键点,我们认为这些关键点对于正确解释数据至关重要,但它暗示了一种新的主体感观点:最佳线索整合似乎是主体感稳健性的关键。我们在这里认为,该框架可以将摩尔等人和其他最近的主体感研究的发现整合到主体感及其病理障碍的综合图景中。
