Laboratory Phonology, 2023 The present study examined how native phonological and phonetic factors in non-native speech perception (Perceptual Assimilation Model [PAM]: Best, 1995) affect non-native imitation of Thai tones by Thai-naïve Mandarin and Vietnamese participants, and ...

TextGAIL: Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning for Text Generation
, 2021 Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for text generation have recently received many criticisms, as they perform worse than their MLE counterparts. We suspect previous text GANs' inferior performance is due to the lack of a reliable guiding signal in ...

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

The effect of money priming on self-focus in the imitation-inhibition task : a registered report [PDF]
, 2019 The self-sufficiency hypothesis suggests that priming individuals with money makes them focus more strongly on themselves than on others. However, recently, research supporting this claim has been heavily criticized and some attempts to replicate have ...

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.

The influence of group membership on cross-contextual imitation [PDF]
, 2015 Research on mimicry has demonstrated that individuals imitate in-group members more strongly than out-group members. In the present study, we tested whether such top-down modulation also applies for more extreme forms of direct mapping, such as for cross-

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.

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

Focusing on body sites: the role of spatial attention in action perception. [PDF]
, 2007 Humans use the same representations to code self-produced and observed actions. Neurophysiological evidence for this view comes from the discovery of the so-called mirror neurons in premotor cortex of the macaque monkey.
