Frequency of the first feature in action sequences influences feature binding.

We investigated whether binding among perception and action feature codes is a preliminary step toward creating a more durable memory trace of an action event. If so, increasing the frequency of a particular event (e.g.

Holding a manual response sequence in memory can disrupt vocal responses that share semantic features with the manual response.

Holding an action plan in memory for later execution can delay execution of another action if the actions share a similar (compatible) feature. This compatibility interference (CI) occurs for actions that share the same response modality (e.g.

An action sequence held in memory can interfere with response selection of a target stimulus, but does not interfere with response activation of noise stimuli.

Withholding an action plan in memory for later execution can delay execution of another action if the actions share a similar (compatible) action feature (e.g., response hand).
