Baby steps: investigating the development of perceptual-motor couplings in infancy [PDF]

, 2014
There are cells in our motor cortex that fire both when we perform and when we observe similar actions. It has been suggested that these perceptual-motor couplings in the brain develop through associative learning during correlated sensorimotor ...

Learning to perceive in the sensorimotor approach: Piaget's theory of equilibration interpreted dynamically

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Learning to perceive faces a classical paradox: if understanding is required for perception, how can we learn to perceive something new, something we do not yet understand?

fMRI evidence of ‘mirror’ responses to geometric shapes [PDF]

, 2012
Mirror neurons may be a genetic adaptation for social interaction [1]. Alternatively, the associative hypothesis [2], [3] proposes that the development of mirror neurons is driven by sensorimotor learning, and that, given suitable experience, mirror ...

The sensorimotor theory of perceptual experience [PDF]

, 2014
The sensorimotor theory is an influential, non-mainstream account of perception and perceptual consciousness intended to improve in various ways on orthodox theories.

EMBODIED LEARNING OF LANGUAGE IN PRESCHOOLERS: EMOTION, ENACTMENT, AND COGNITION

Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Philosophia, 2019
Language learning in preschool children tends to be likened to school-like learning, using verbal explanations more than actions when new words are learned during storytelling.

The experience of sensorimotor integration of a lower limb sensory neuroprosthesis: A qualitative case study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionLower limb prosthesis users often struggle to navigate uneven terrain or ambulate in low light conditions where it can be challenging to rely on visual cues for balance and walking.

Major Remaining Gaps in Models of Sensorimotor Systems

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
Experimental descriptions of the anatomy and physiology of individual components of sensorimotor systems have revealed substantial complexity, making it difficult to intuit how complete systems might work.

Beyond task-space exploration: On the role of variance for motor control and learning

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
This conceptual analysis on the role of variance for motor control and learning should be taken as a call to: (a) overcome the classic motor-action controversy by identifying converging lines and mutual synergies in the explanation of motor behavior ...

Robust generalization of tuning to self-induced sensation

iScience
Summary: Perceptual and sensorimotor learning is often specific to the trained stimuli and movement parameters. This specificity also applies to recalibrating sensory and motor maps, such as saccadic eye movements in response to systematic visual errors.

Changes in neural resting state activity in primary and higher-order motor areas induced by a short sensorimotor intervention based on the Feldenkrais method

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
We use functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate short-term neural effects of a brief sensorimotor intervention adapted from the Feldenkrais method, a movement-based learning method.
