Abstract
We studied reach and grasp integration across three different tasks: reaching-to-grasp a static object, reaching-to-stop a rolling ball, and reaching-to-catch a tossed ball. The novel finding is that participants displayed no hand pre-shaping when catching thrown balls as compared to stationary or rolled balls.
