  text: "<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>\r\n          <jats:p>The execution of incompatible
    actions imposes costs on action planning, commonly known as response-response
    incompatibility-costs. This phenomenon is also evident in sports: A basketball
    player who performs a pass in one direction whilst orienting the head into the
    contrary direction (pass with head fake) needs more time to initiate the action
    as if pass direction and head orientation are the same (pass without head fake).</jats:p>\r\n
    \         <jats:p>The aim of this study was twofold: First, we present a re-analysis
    of the data from Böer et al. (Psychological Research 88:523–524, 2024) using mixture
    effect modelling (Miller, Behavior Research Methods 38:92–106, 2006) explore if
    fake-production costs manifest continuously (uniform effect) in all participants
    or if some participants show fake-production costs occasionally but substantially
    (mixed effect). Second, we collected data of a control group which was analysed
    with the previous data of the practice group and fitted initiation times (ITs)
    to an ex-Gaussian distribution.</jats:p>\r\n          <jats:p>The analysis of
    mixture effects revealed that most participants exhibited a uniform effect when
    they didn’t have time to mentally prepare the movement. This pattern was not changed
    by practice, suggesting fake-production costs can’t be overcome by practice alone
    without mental preparation time.</jats:p>\r\n          <jats:p>The analysis of
    mean ITs revealed improvements in the practice group but not in the control group,
    independent of the type of pass performed. The distribution analyses complemented
    these findings as it showed that the improvement in participants’ performance
    with increasing practice can mainly be attributed to a reduction of the exponential
    part of the distribution (parameter tau).</jats:p>"
