Understanding interactions between cognitive and motor performance is an important theoretical and practical aim of motor neuroscience. Toward this aim, we invited university students to move one hand back and forth at a self-paced rate either in silence or while overtly generating words from semantic categories. The same participants also generated words without movement. Word generation affected manual performance but manual performance did not affect word generation. Only the timing, but not the spatial features, of the hand movements were influenced by word generation. The simplicity of our procedure argues for its future use, both for theoretical and practical purposes.
理解认知与运动表现之间的相互作用是运动神经科学的一个重要理论和实践目标。为了实现这一目标，我们邀请大学生以自己选择的速度来回移动一只手，要么在安静状态下，要么在从语义类别中公开生成单词的同时进行。同样的参与者也在不移动的情况下生成单词。单词生成影响手部表现，但手部表现不影响单词生成。只有手部动作的时间，而不是空间特征，受到单词生成的影响。我们程序的简单性表明它未来可用于理论和实践目的。
