Original abstract

This paper addresses the intention-motor interface challenge, that is, the problem of how propositional intentions and non-propositional motor representations coordinate in guiding purposive action (cf. Butterfill and Sinigaglia 2014; Mylopoulos and Pacherie 2017). While several solutions have been proposed, they often leave aspects of the challenge unexplained or generate new interlock points. I argue that a more satisfactory account minimizes the need for translation between formats and emphasizes continuity within the domain of imagistic representations. To this end, I introduce a largely overlooked distinction between general and specific mental images. I propose that transitions from intentions to motor representations often occur via imagistic filling-in, rather than across fundamentally different formats. This account reduces interface points by locating both planning and motor guidance within a shared representational framework. It thereby advances a unified model of mental imagery and contributes a new solution to the format coordination and content determination aspects of the interface problem.
