Is that what I wanted to do? Cued vocalizations influence the phenomenology of controlling a moving object

► Participants monitored whether actions had the intended effects on a moving object. ► Irrelevant but semantically related vocalizations influenced judgments of control. ► Vocalized directions were confused with predicted and actually perceived movements. ► There was a cumulative impact of vocalizing over multiple moves. ► Analogous impacts of vocalization occurred for passively observed moves.
