Public policy and the effects of media violence on children (2007, background): “Indeed, the discovery of the mirror neuron system provides a specific physiological system for such imitative learning (e.g., Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004).”
Neural Dynamics of Learning Sound—Action Associations (2008, background): “for matching action perception with action execution, as well as action recognition [9,10,43].”
Social Cognitive Neuroscience of Empathy: Concepts, Circuits, and Genes (2012, background): “Mirror neurons are a unique class of neurons that were discovered about 15 years ago in the premotor cortex (area F5) in monkeys by single-cell recordings (Gallese, Fadiga, Fogassi, & Rizzolatti, 1996; Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004).”
A critical look at the embodied cognition hypothesis and a new proposal for grounding conceptual content. (2008, positive): “Such motor activation has been observed in functional neuroimaging, neurophysiological recordings in non-human primates and humans, EEG, behavior, TMS, and kinematic analyses (for empirical reviews and theoretical discussions, see e.g., Barsalou et al., 2003; Boulenger et al., 2006; Gallese and Lako”
Changes in Dispositional Empathy in American College Students Over Time: A Meta-Analysis (2011, background): “Now, along with the advent of neuroscience and the rise of interest in the mirror neuron system (see Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004), it appears the debate over establishing a single operational definition of empathy is far from settled.”
In the Eye of the Beholder: Individual Differences in Perceived Social Isolation Predict Regional Brain Activation to Social Stimuli (2009, background): “The multimodal neurophysiological processes involved in the execution of an action, for instance, give rise to parallel neurophysiological sensorimotor processes in the observer of these actions ( Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004 ).”
Words as tools and the problem of abstract words meanings (2009, background): “The neural substrate for this idea of simulation resides in the recent neurophysiological discovery, in the F5 area of the premotor cortex of monkeys and in humans, of two kinds of visuomotor neurons: canonical and mirror neurons (for a review see Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004).”
Contagion of Entrepreneurial Passion: Effects on Employee Outcomes (2020, background): “Mirror neurons are triggered to reproduce the emotion in others’ minds (Mehrabian, 1972; Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004).”
The functional significance of mu rhythms: translating "seeing" and "hearing" into "doing". (2005, background): “It has been speculated that such internal simulation or motor imagery may play a critical role in imitation learning or the ability to understand other individuals’ movements, an ability that may be especially critical for the development of a theory of mind and hence for understanding social intera”
Predictive coding: an account of the mirror neuron system (2007, background): “Rizzolatti and Craighero (2004) suggested, ''The proposed mechanism is rather simple.”
