Thinking about our behaviors for a future recall like playing a piano sonata during the next weekend (i.e., delayed motor intention) should engage at some level sensorimotor-based representations. Theoretically, such representations can be stored through both an action- and a goal-based mechanism. An action-based mechanism is related to the specific motor sequence of fingers like the key presses on the piano, and a goal-based mechanism is related to the musical tones generated by the key presses. From these considerations, the present article tries to explore whether the cognitive nature of delayed motor intention is more based on an action or goal mechanism. We reviewed empirical evidence and theoretical accounts of different domains such as motor skills, tool use, and action memory supporting the idea that such delayed motor intentions are rather represented through a goal-based mechanism. The specific role of this goal-based mechanism is to envision the future in an implementation-neutral mode to flexibly and efficiently retrieve an adapted action to environmental constraints. This goal-based account offers an interesting alternative to reshape the classical models about the representations of delayed motor intention. We also discuss how this account can be applied to practical activities in daily life situations.
思考我们未来要回忆的行为，比如在下个周末弹奏一首钢琴奏鸣曲（即延迟的运动意图），应该会在某种程度上涉及基于感觉运动的表征。从理论上讲，这种表征可以通过基于动作和基于目标的机制来存储。基于动作的机制与手指的特定运动序列有关，比如钢琴上的按键，而基于目标的机制与按键产生的音调有关。基于这些考虑，本文试图探讨延迟运动意图的认知本质是否更多地基于动作机制还是目标机制。我们回顾了运动技能、工具使用和动作记忆等不同领域的实证证据和理论观点，这些都支持这样一种观点，即这种延迟的运动意图更多地是通过基于目标的机制来表征的。这种基于目标的机制的具体作用是以一种与实施无关的模式设想未来，以便灵活、高效地检索出适应环境限制的动作。这种基于目标的观点为重塑关于延迟运动意图表征的经典模型提供了一个有趣的选择。我们还讨论了这种观点如何应用于日常生活中的实际活动。
