Even if actions go awry, they prompt eligible short-cuts for action control: Acted-upon stimuli are bound to actual but not executed correct responses and executed erroneous responses enter bindings with effects that they produced. The subsequent repetition of these stimuli or effects then triggers the retrieval of any bound responses facilitating their execution. As such, binding and retrieval steer agents toward successful actions while also leveraging potential action-effect contingencies. The current study scrutinized the structure of these bindings. Features of erroneous action episodes might be organized in independent bindings, i.e., between features of the stimulus and of the intended correct response on the one hand and between features of the executed erroneous response and of its effect on the other hand. Alternatively, stimulus, response and effects features might all be integrated in a unitary event file. We examined performance in a sequential design as a function of transitions in relevant stimuli, responses and effects between successive action episodes to elucidate the structure of bindings for action slips.
