TY - GEN T1 - Moving From Cognition to Behavior What the research Says. [article]. A1 - Johnson, Russell E. UL - https://tuklas.up.edu.ph/Record/UP-8027390931312519134 AB - In 1994 R. G. Lord and P. E. Levy proposed a variant of control theory that incorporated human information processing principles. The current article evaluates the empirical evidence for their propositions and updates the theory by considering contemporary research on information processing. Considerable support drawing from diverse literatures was found for propositions concerning the activation of goal-relevant information, the inhibition of goal-irrelevant information, and the consequences of goalcompletion. These effects were verified by meta-analytic analyses, which also supported the meaningfulness of such effects on the basis of their unstandardized magnitudes. The authors conclude by proposing new direction for this version of control theory by invoking recent theorizing on goal imergence and the importance of velocity and accelation informatiion for goal striving and by reviewing research in cognitive neuroscience.-- (from the author) KW - Motivation.
