Assessing the automaticity of “automatic imitation”: Are imitative behaviours efficient?
, 2023 Converging evidence from behavioural, neuroimaging and neurostimulation studies demonstrate that observing an action activates the neural mechanisms necessary to produce it, a phenomenon commonly termed automatic imitation. This is typically assessed behaviourally using the Stimulus Response Compatibility (SRC) task, where participants are presented ...

Similarity and automatic imitation
, 2021 Individuals automatically imitate a wide range of different behaviors. Previous research suggests that imitation as a social process depends on the similarity between interaction partners. However, some of the experiments supporting this notion could not be replicated and all of the supporting experiments manipulated not only similarity between actor ...

Automatic versus voluntary motor imitation: effect of visual context and stimulus velocity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Automatic imitation is the tendency to reproduce observed actions involuntarily. Though this topic has been widely treated, at present little is known about the automatic imitation of the kinematic features of an observed movement.

Covert and overt automatic imitation are correlated
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2023 Most theoretical accounts of imitation assume that covert and overt measures of automatic imitation tap into the same underlying construct. Despite this widespread assumption, it is not well-supported by empirical evidence. In fact, the only study investigating the relation between covert and overt automatic imitation failed to find a correlation ...

In the eye of the beholder: reduced threat-bias and increased gaze-imitation towards reward in relation to trait anger. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The gaze of a fearful face silently signals a potential threat's location, while the happy-gaze communicates the location of impending reward. Imitating such gaze-shifts is an automatic form of social interaction that promotes survival of individual and ...

Dynamic emotional expressions do not modulate responses to gestures
Acta Psychologica, 2021 The tendency to imitate the actions of others appears to be a fundamental aspect of human social interaction. Emotional expressions are a particularly salient form of social stimuli (Vuilleumier & Schwartz, 2001) but their relationship to imitative ...

Automatic imitation of biomechanically possible and impossible actions: effects of priming movements versus goals [PDF]
, 2008 Recent behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological research suggests a common representational code mediating the observation and execution of actions; yet, the nature of this representational code is not well understood.

Experience modulates automatic imitation
Cognitive Brain Research, 2005 Action observation gives rise to activation in corresponding areas of the premotor and primary motor cortices. We tested the hypothesis that this activation depends on visual-motor connections established through correlated experience of observing and executing the same action.

Underpinnings of explicit phonetic imitation: perception, production, and variability
Glossa Psycholinguistics, 2023 This work tests the relative role of perception- and production-based predictors, and the relationship between them, in imitation of artificial accents varying in voice onset time (VOT), using a paradigm designed to target distinct sub-processes of ...

Attention modulates the specificity of automatic imitation to human actors [PDF]
, 2009 The perception of actions performed by others activates one’s own motor system. Recent studies disagree as to whether this effect is specific to actions performed by other humans, an issue complicated by differences in perceptual salience between human ...
