| Author Summary | It thus combines two disconnected research streams, decision-making and action control in a manner consistent With theoretical and psychological arguments for embodied cognition. |
| Discussion | Here we presented a general framework highlighting the importance of action for decision; within this framework, specific models can be designed and tested that include mechanisms such as action preparation and commitment that are currently not considered or considered only partially in current theories of decision-making . |
| Discussion | These findings cannot be explained by current parallel models (not even the “changes of mind” model of [23]) because they lack a mechanism for action preparation and use the evolving sensory representation only for decision-making and not also for movement preparation and planning. |
| Embodied choice | Differences between parallel (continuous flow) and embodied choice models of decision-making . |
| Parallel decision and action: the continuous flow model | Successive EEG and neurophysiological studies of decision-making consistently found a covert preparation of multiple motor plans in parallel, providing a strong support for parallel views of human information processing [12—15]. |
