- Motivational dynamics in language learning (2015, background): “Finally, this counterargument assumes that the unconscious initiation of action discovered by Libet is generalizable from the simple finger movement examined in those laboratory studies to all human behaviour, and cannot be explained away by skill automation (Bandura, 2008).”
