Using Goal- and Grip-Related Information for Understanding the Correctness of Other’s Actions: An ERP Study 1,2 1 1 3 Michiel van Elk *, Roel Bousardt , Harold Bekkering , Hein T. van Schie 1 Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, 2 Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, Brain Mind ´ ´ ´ Institute, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, 3 Behavioural Science Institute, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Abstract Detecting errors in other’s actions is of pivotal importance for joint action, competitive behavior and observational learning. Although many studies have focused on the neural mechanisms involved in detecting low-level errors, relatively little is known about error-detection in everyday situations. The present study aimed to identify the functional and neural mechanisms whereby we understand the correctness of other’s actions involving well-known objects (e.g. pouring coffee in a cup). Participants observed action sequences in which the correctness of the object grasped and the grip applied to a pair of objects were independently manipulated. Observation of object violations (e.g. grasping the empty cup instead of the coffee pot) resulted in a stronger P3-effect than observation of grip errors (e.g. grasping the coffee pot at the upper part instead of the handle), likely reflecting a reorienting response, directing attention to the relevant location. Following the P3- effect, a parietal slow wave positivity was observed that persisted for grip-errors, likely reflecting the detection of an incorrect hand-object interaction. T
