| Résumé : | First, a series of arguments are presented indicating a conceptual closeness between the “indications of reality” in the Freudian model and the efference copies of the sensorimotor models. Moreover, a number of other parallels between the psychodynamic and the sensorimotor approach have been uncovered in recent neurosciences, chief among which is the constitutive link between representation and action: Thinking is only possible as a motor activity and this thinking is not a priori conscious. Afferent stimuli probe for a multiplicity of associated action plans: directed action, then, is only possible by selecting one alternative through inhibition of the others. This inhibition might function through the anticipative attenuation brought about by the efference copies. The efference copy-induced somatosensory activations linked to motor control are thought to induce mental imagery in response to incomplete action execution. This, then, would be especially the case for some of these action alternatives, which are easily susceptible of popping up due to their emotional importance. In order to act appropriately, these frequent candidates require a more vigorous inhibition, which would then be particularly prone to induce (unconscious) mental imagery as well as to spill over to associated representations and induce substitutive behaviours, which, together, would constitute “the return of the repressed”. |
