 The upshot, then, is that once the methodological differences are controlled for, the perception-cognition gap appears to be an artifact of two different normative standards applied to tasks. If the standards applied to assessing perceptual-motor tasks are applied to classical cognitive decision-making tasks, then both appear to perform well. If instead the standards used for assessing the classical cognitive tasks are applied to perceptual-motor tasks, then both will appear to perform poorly.
