Acting with the feet and hands: Does one effector system dominate the other?
Acta Psychol (Amst)

Article Synopsis
- To act effectively, actions must meet performance criteria, and determining their relative importance is crucial for research on action selection.
- Previous studies showed that participants adjusted their foot stance based on the hand-move distance and rate during a box-moving task, prioritizing manual dexterity over foot separation.
- Two recent experiments found that hand-move distances and rates were significantly influenced by the required movements, while foot separation had minimal impact, indicating that postural control is less critical than dexterity in whole-body object manipulation.
