Abstract (may include machine translation)
This article provides an overview of current research in the area of psychology and neuroscience addressing the perception of one's own actions and their consequences. The first part is concerned with situations in which a person currently acts and addresses three questions. Is one able to monitor one's own movements independently of their intended consequences? Does one perceive the same events differently when they result from one's own actions? How can one tell whether observed events are a consequence of one's own actions? The second part is concerned with situations in which one perceives earlier produced actions. Two questions are addressed. Is one able to identify one's own earlier actions and their consequences? Is one able to generate more accurate predictions of the future consequences of self-generated actions? Collectively, the results suggest that motoric and action knowledge affects perception and is used to attribute observed events to one's own actions.
