To ensure a rewarding task structure, the manikin was moved to the win target more frequently than to the loss target. On each trial, a movement cue indicated whether the manikin should be moved to the win or to the loss target. Approaching the win target was rewarded with 5 points in contrast, 5 points were subtracted from the total score when the loss target was approached. Participants moved a virtual manikin on the computer screen to one of two target areas-a win and a loss target. To quantify a dynamic competition between planned goal-directed actions and temptations, we measured movement trajectories of the computer mouse. We reasoned that the tug-of-war between antagonistic response options is not ultimately solved before action initiation but leaks into action execution. The aim of the present study was to explore the dynamics of self-control in action execution. When the names of the target and the distractor were phonologically similar, movement trajectories were attracted toward the distractor (and more so than for phonologically unrelated distractors), revealing dynamic influences of the decision process on action execution (for additional evidence, see Freeman & Ambady, 2011 Freeman, Ambady, Rule, & Johnson, 2008). Importantly, the trajectories of the computer mouse were recorded, which provided a detailed profile of the movement trajectories during action execution. They asked participants to move a computer mouse to a target picture, while a distractor picture was presented on the other side of the screen that could be either phonologically related to the target or not. In line with this approach, Spivey, Grosjean, and Knoblich ( 2005) showed that the competition between two choice alternatives is apparent in the trajectory of the movement after a response decision. According to these models, the stream of information from perception to action is continuous and not divided into separate processing stages (Erlhagen & Schöner, 2002). This timeless quality has served Taylor well as he remains one of the most popular and best selling recording artists of all time.An alternative approach has been advanced by continuous information processing models (Miller, 1988).
These performances still sound as fresh and engaging as they did way back when.
The stark honesty of Taylor's music and the relaxed laid back vibe of these performances show exactly why he remains a pillar of the singer/songwriter genre. Performing both solo acoustic and accompanied by his band, this features a wide range of material primarily spanning the first decade of his career, from early album classics like "Something In The Way She Moves" and "Rainy Day Man" to choice selections from his middle period albums, like "One Man Parade" and "Walking Man." A beautiful reading of the traditional folk song "Wild Mountain Thyme" is also a highlight as is Taylor and his extraordinary band covering Buddy Holly's "Everyday." Captured on the tour following that album's release, presented here is a good portion of Taylor's performance from the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.
