Introduction Interception is a complex task that requires the integration of perception and action under temporal constraints. Decision-making about whether to respond moving stimuli involved in discriminative responses may further increase cognitive load imposed on performer, influencing perception-action coupling during interception. This study investigated effects response requirements eye hand movements, action, accuracy interceptive actions. Methods Twelve right-handed male participants performed actions at three velocities (0.53 m/s, 0.66 0.88 m/s) (target-specific) non-discriminative (target non-specific) conditions. While condition required presented all trials, them stimulus toward pre-defined target area. Results Timing errors were greater than condition, increased with increasing velocity. Both reaction movement times decreased velocity, longer condition. Variables representing aspects actions, including saccadic latency, frequency, gaze duration, Compared frequency was higher, duration shorter, spatial responses, radial error, couplings hand, however, remained unaffected by Conclusion These findings suggest decision-making impair delaying without severe influences
