It has been claimed that increased reliance on context, or allocentric information, develops when aiming movements are more consciously monitored and/or controlled. Since verbalizing target features requires strong conscious monitoring, we expected an increased reliance on allocentric information when verbalizing a target label (i.e. target number) during movement execution. We examined swiping actions towards a global array of targets embedded in different local array configurations on a tablet under no-verbalization and verbalization conditions. The global and local array configurations allowed separation of contextual-effects from any possible numerical magnitude biases triggered from calling out specific target numbers. The patterns of constant errors in the target direction were used to assess differences between conditions. Variation in the target context configuration systematically biased movement endpoints in both the no-verbalization and verbalization conditions. Ultimately, our results do not support the assertion that calling out target numbers during movement execution increases the context-dependency of targeted actions.

有人声称，当瞄准运动被更有意识地监视和/或控制时，会增加对上下文或异中心信息的依赖。由于表达目标特征需要强烈的有意识的监控，我们预计在运动执行期间表达目标标签（即目标编号）时会增加对异中心信息的依赖。我们研究了在非语言化和语言化条件下，针对嵌入在平板电脑上不同局部阵列配置中的全局目标阵列的滑动动作。全局和局部阵列配置允许将上下文影响与调用特定目标数字触发的任何可能的数字幅度偏差分开。目标方向上的恒定误差模式用于评估条件之间的差异。目标上下文配置的变化在非语言化和语言化条件下系统地偏置了运动端点。最终，我们的结果不支持在运动执行期间调用目标数字会增加目标动作的上下文依赖性的断言。
