Action Identification
Action Identification is the way in which specific behaviors, ranging from low-level muscle movements to high-level, abstract goal pursuits, are construed. For example, the behavior of pressing a key on a keyboard could be construed as I am pressing a key, I am typing, or I am writing a novel. [introduced in 1985 by Robin R. Vallacher, U.S. psychologist, and Daniel M. Wegner (1948– ), Canadianborn U.S. psychologist]
