Automatic imitation in a rich social context with virtual characters [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 It has been well established that people respond faster when they perform an action that is congruent with an observed action than when they respond with an incongruent action. Here we propose a new method of using interactive Virtual Characters (VCs) to

Status and Power Do Not Modulate Automatic Imitation of Intransitive Hand Movements. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The tendency to mimic the behaviour of others is affected by a variety of social factors, and it has been argued that such "mirroring" is often unconsciously deployed as a means of increasing affiliation during interpersonal interactions.

Copying you copying me: interpersonal motor co-ordination influences automatic imitation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Moving in a co-ordinated fashion with another individual changes our behaviour towards them; we tend to like them more, find them more attractive, and are more willing to co-operate with them. It is generally assumed that this effect on behaviour results

Sensorimotor experience enhances automatic imitation of robotic action [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 Recent research in cognitive neuroscience has found that observation of human actions activates the ‘mirror system’ and provokes automatic imitation to a greater extent than observation of non-biological movements. The present study investigated whether this human bias depends primarily on phylogenetic or ontogenetic factors by examining the effects of

Motor imagery during action observation modulates automatic imitation effects in rhythmical actions [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 We have previously shown that passively observing a task-irrelevant rhythmical action can bias the cycle time of a subsequently executed rhythmical action.

Automatic imitation in rhythmical actions: kinematic fidelity and the effects of compatibility, delay, and visual monitoring. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We demonstrate that observation of everyday rhythmical actions biases subsequent motor execution of the same and of different actions, using a paradigm where the observed actions were irrelevant for action execution.

Automatic Imitation in School-Aged Children
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2023 Children imitate others for different reasons: To learn from others and to reach social goals such as affiliation or prosociality. So far, imitative acts have been measured using diverging methods in children and adults. Here, we investigated whether school-aged children’s imitation can be measured via their automatic imitation with a classical ...

The controlled imitation task: a new paradigm for studying self-other control [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 In the automatic imitation task (AIT) participants make a cued response during simultaneous exposure to a congruent or incongruent action made by another agent.

Automatic imitation of intransitive actions [PDF]
Brain and Cognition, 2008 Previous research has indicated a potential discontinuity between monkey and human ventral premotor-parietal mirror systems, namely that monkey mirror systems process only transitive (object-directed) actions, whereas human mirror systems may also process intransitive (non-object-directed) actions.
