Hitting is male, giving is female. Automatic imitation and complementarity during action observation [PDF]

, 2016
Is somebody going to hurt us? We draw back. The present study investigates using behavioral measures the interplay between imitative and complementary actions activated while observing female/male hands performing different ...

Intimate imitation: Automatic motor imitation in romantic relationships

Cognition, 2016
Our relationships with romantic partners are often some of the closest and most important relationships that we experience in our adult lives. Interpersonal closeness in romantic relationships is characterised by an increased overlap between cognitive representations of oneself and one's partner. Importantly, this type of self-other overlap also occurs

Index finger movement imitation by human neonates: motivation, learning, and left-hand preference [PDF]

, 2005
Imitation of a fine motor movement, index finger protrusion, was examined in 39 neonates using an ethologically based objective coding system. Results confirmed that imitation of finger movements exists, and infants demonstrated "learning" as imitation ...

Flexibility and development of mirroring mechanisms [PDF]

, 2008
The empirical support for the SCM is mixed. We review recent results from our own lab and others supporting a central claim of SCM that mirroring occurs at multiple levels of representation.

Robotic movement elicits automatic imitation

Cognitive Brain Research, 2005
Recent behavioural and neuroimaging studies have found that observation of human movement, but not of robotic movement, gives rise to visuomotor priming. This implies that the 'mirror neuron' or 'action observation-execution matching' system in the premotor and parietal cortices is entirely unresponsive to robotic movement.

Social Context Modulates Facial Imitation of Children's Emotional Expressions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Children use emotional facial expressions of others for guiding their behavior, a process which is important to a child's social-emotional development. Earlier studies on facial interaction demonstrate that imitation of emotional expressions of others is

The brain's intention to imitate: The neurobiology of intentional versus automatic imitation [PDF]

Brain Stimulation, 2008
Whenever we observe a movement of a conspecific, our mirror neuron system becomes activated, urging us to imitate the observed movement. However, because such automatic imitation is not always appropriate, an inhibitive component keeping us from imitating everything we see seems crucial for an effective social behavior.

Complementary actions [PDF]

, 2015
Complementary colors are color pairs which, when combined in the right proportions, produce white or black. Complementary actions refer here to forms of social interaction wherein individuals adapt their joint actions according to a common aim.

Motor signatures of emotional reactivity in frontotemporal dementia

Scientific Reports, 2018
Automatic motor mimicry is essential to the normal processing of perceived emotion, and disrupted automatic imitation might underpin socio-emotional deficits in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly the frontotemporal dementias.

Specifying social cognitive processes with a social dual-task paradigm

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Automatic imitation tasks measuring motor priming effects showed that we directly map observed actions of other agents onto our own motor repertoire (direct matching).
