Grasp planning for object manipulation: The contribution of goal-directed and habitual
processing
We use tools and handle objects every day. Thereby, the selection of a specific grasp sets
the stage for subsequent tool use actions or object manipulations: Whereas clever grasp
planning can facilitate a subsequent object manipulation, an inappropriate grasp selection
may hinder it or even render it impossible. However, how grasps for object manipulation
are planned is an open question and different explanation have been proposed. In my
presentation I will focus on the (apparent) dichotomy of goal-directed and habitual
processing and present experiments that shed light on the contribution of both modes of
processing. These experiments show that grasp planning - including the adjustment of the
grasp to an upcoming object manipulation -is predominantly a habitual process
