The findings reported in the present dissertation suggest that approach and avoidance motor actions tend to act upon the recruitment of cognitive control processes. Across different executive functions and operationalizations of approach and avoidance behavior, avoidance bodily signals consistently improved cognitive functioning compared to approach bodily signals. These effects seem to stem from the enhanced mobilization of cognitive resources triggered by avoidance, compared to approach, bodily signals. Although avoidance motor actions are clearly beneficial for cognitive functioning in the short run, our results also speak to the other side of the medal, namely that performance on later occasions may be impaired due to the lower residual cognitive capacity. We hope that the current dissertation contributed
to our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that are initiated by the performance of approach and avoidance motor actions.
