ABSTRACT
A new decision-making model, called movements influence decisions (Movid), describes how movements influence cognitive processes. This model predicts that the movement function of approach or avoidance arm movements tune heuristic and systematic processes. Possible relations between probabilistic and dynamical structures have been implemented in the Movid model. Modeling the relation between mind and motion informs movement science about how movement goals are incorporated in higher order decision-making. The model tests different cognitive tuning models and defines more precisely the underlying mechanisms. Input, which consist of movement goals, and other crucial inputs, represented by values such that the input defines the state of the system. The inputs are evaluated by a utility function in a decision element that consists of sets of possible states.
