Activation of action rules in action observation.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2007
Visually perceiving an action may activate corresponding motor programs. This automatic motor activation can occur both for higher level (i.e., the goal of an action) and for lower level (i.e., the specific effector with which it is executed) aspects of an action.

Action induction through action observation

Psychological Research, 2004
Ideomotor movements may arise in individuals while they watch goal-directed actions or events. In a previous study we developed a paradigm for investigating ideomotor movements induced through watching the outcome of one's own action. In the present study we extended the paradigm to investigate both movements induced through watching the outcome of one'

Action plans used in action observation

Nature, 2003
How do we understand the actions of others? According to the direct matching hypothesis, action understanding results from a mechanism that maps an observed action onto motor representations of that action. Although supported by neurophysiological and brain-imaging studies, direct evidence for this hypothesis is sparse. In visually guided actions, task-

Observing Action in Uncertainty: The Role of Belief-tracking in Action Observation

2022
<p><b>Recent research provides compelling evidence that our own motor system plays an important role in predicting the outcome of observed actions by others in our environment through a “mirroring system”. It has been argued that this ability to mirror the actions of our peers is the key to understanding others’ minds.

Learning Actions from Observations

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2010
In the area of imitation learning, one of the important research problems is action representation. There has been a growing interest in expressing actions as a combination of meaningful subparts called action primitives. Action primitives could be thought of as elementary building blocks for action representation.

Similarity of actions depends on the functionality of previously observed actions.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2016
People have a tendency to imitate the behavior of others, sometimes even automatically. And yet, evidence suggests that many of our actions are controlled, mediated by current goals and careful considerations. Here, we investigated whether the observation and evaluation of previous actions of another person modulates the similarity of actions between ...

Action Imagery Combined With Action Observation Activates More Corticomotor Regions Than Action Observation Alone

Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy, 2012
Both action observation (AO) and action imagery have been proposed as therapeutic options for stroke rehabilitation. Currently, it is not clear to what extent their underlying neuronal mechanisms differ from each other and whether one of these therapeutic options might be preferable for this purpose.Twenty-six neurologically healthy subjects were ...
