Abstract
Role of cognitive processes in the reproduction of bodily configurations in adults on a proprioceptive basis. The aim of this work is to offer an example of possible articulation between psychology and motor behavior in the domain of sensori-motor transfer. We used a task involving the reproduction by human adults of bodily configurations, in the proprioceptive modality. Each subject executed the configuration with an arm (norm N), reproduced it with the same arm (homolateral reproduction HR) and with the other arm (contralateral reproduction CR). We hypothesize that the elaboration of a spatial image is necessary to reproduce the configurations. When the subjects are not skilled, the reference is not yet established and significant differences must appear between N, RH and RC. However the spatial difficulty of the configurations presumably does not play any role in these differences, since the subjects are adults. Thus intramodal transfer employs similar processing operations to those included in transfer between different sensory modalities.
