How Do Expectations Shape Actions? Integrating Motor Control, Decision Making, and Clinical Neuroscience

2026-02-26

Abstract excerpt

<p>Expectations do not merely shape perception—they fundamentally structure how actions are selected, prepared, executed, and updated. Across motor control, decision making, and clinical neuroscience, converging evidence suggests that behaviour is guided by hierarchical predictions about sensory consequences, action–outcome contingencies, value, and controllability. This review integrates predictive processing, re...
