Here, we asked how predictive control is expressed when late online corrections are made ineffective but visual information is left intact. Participants performed a visuomotor interception task in which they moved a horizontal cursor to intercept a falling target at its predicted landing position. On selected trials, the cursor became temporarily unresponsive immediately before interception, preventing late motor corrections while leaving the target continuously visible. Manual and gaze behavior were quantified using two complementary root-mean-square error (RMSE) measures that tracked alignment with either the target\u2019s instantaneous position or its landing position. Under normal conditions, manual movements converged on the predicted landing position earlier on successful than on unsuccessful trials; trial-averaged gaze showed no comparable effect. Increasing cursor-freeze durations progressively reduced interception accuracy but shifted manual behavior toward earlier alignment with the landing position before the freeze began, indicating a redistribution of control from late feedback corrections toward earlier predictive planning. These findings show that when late online corrections become ineffective, humans compensate by committing earlier to predicted future states. This redistribution was large and consistent in manual behavior, and considerably harder to detect in trial-averaged gaze.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnsys.2026.1892135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T04:34:40Z","timestamp":1787891680000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Preventing late corrections reveals anticipatory motor control"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Inmaculada","family":"M\u00e1rquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Psicolog\u00eda, Centro Universitario de la Ci\u00e9nega, Universidad de Guadalajara","place":["Ocotl\u00e1n, Mexico"]},{"name":"Laboratorio de Neurofisiolog\u00eda, Departamento de Bioingenier\u00eda Traslacional, Centro Universitario de Ciencias Exactas e Ingenier\u00edas","place":["Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico"]},{"name":"Laboratorio de Plasticidad Cortical y Aprendizaje Perceptual, Instituto de Neurociencias, Universidad de Guadalajara","place":["Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Lemus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Neurociencia Cognitiva, Instituto de Fisiolog\u00eda Celular, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico","place":["Mexico City, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Trevi\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Plasticidad Cortical y Aprendizaje Perceptual, Instituto de Neurociencias, Universidad de Guadalajara","place":["Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.neuro.25.112701.142922","article-title":"Intentional maps in posterior parietal cortex","volume":"25","author":"Andersen","year":"2002","journal-title":"Annu.
