Grounding Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in Sensorimotor Anticipation (2011, background): “Recent empirical evidence indicates that the mechanism we have described of access via simulation is not limited to providing knowledge about the effects of possible actions (Davidson and Wolpert, 2005), but also informs one’s idiosyncratic performance (Knoblich and Flach, 2003) and one’s own mental”
Neural and Computational Mechanisms of Action Processing: Interaction between Visual and Motor Representations. (2015, background): “A more recent interpretation is that motor activation during action observation represents a prediction triggered by the observed stimuli, which is necessary to disambiguate the sensory representations emerging during action observation (Kilner et al., 2007; Kilner, 2011; Wilson and Knoblich, 2005).”
Perceptual Judgments of Sports Officials are Influenced by their Motor and Visual Experience (2012, background): “To sum up, according to an embodied cognition view of perception, action, and decisionmaking, cognitive processes, including judgments and decision making, are grounded in the body’s interactions with its physical context (Wilson, 2002; Wilson & Knoblich, 2005).”
Effects of anticipatory action on human-robot teamwork: Efficiency, fluency, and perception of team (2007, background): “Among other factors, successful coordinated action has been linked to the formation of expectations of each partner’s actions by the other and the subsequent acting on these expectations [14, 22].”
Joint action: bodies and minds moving together. (2006, background): “Several findings suggest that motor resonance also supports action prediction [ 25 ,26].”
The motor theory of speech perception reviewed (2006, background): “M. Wilson and Knoblich (2005) have recently generalized this conclusion.”
Visible embodiment: Gestures as simulated action (2008, background): “These neurons are hypothesized to be integral in understanding and imitating the actions of others (Gallese & Goldman, 1998; M. Wilson & Knoblich, 2005).”
Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions: Effects of practice and expertise (2007, background): “This circuit involved in perception–action matching has become known as the " mirror neuron system " (MNS) and is likely to subserve more than a single cognitive function (Rizzolatti, 2005a; Wilson and Knoblich, 2005).”
The social brain? (2007, background): “Wolpert et al. (2003) have outlined how such an action system could provide the basis for reading the hidden intentions of others during action observation (see also Wilson & Knoblich 2005).”
Seeing, acting, understanding: motor resonance in language comprehension. (2006, background): “Findings such as these regarding motor resonance have given rise to theories of action understanding (e.g., Blakemore & Frith, 2005; Jackson & Decety, 2004; Jeannerod, 2001; Prinz, 1997; Rizzolatti & Arbib, 1998; Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004; Wilson & Knoblich, 2005; Wolpert, Doya, & Kawato, 2003)”
Perception of human motion. (2007, background): “Regardless how this debate plays out, there is little doubt that the perception of another person’s actions involves activation of human brain circuits involved in the generation of such actions by the observer (see reviews by Buccino et al. 2004 and Wilson & Knoblich 2005).”
Embodied Enactive Dance/Movement Therapy (2011, background): “Embodiment research has demonstrated that body feedback from movement can influence affect (Strack, Martin, & Stepper, 1988), attitudes (Caccioppo, Priester, & Berntson, 1993; Maass & Russo, 2003; Neumann & Strack, 2000; Schubert, 2004), and cognition (Mussweiler, 2006; Raab & Green, 2005), and that”
The rhythm of rapport: Interpersonal synchrony and social perception (2009, background): “Wilson and Knoblich (2005), for example, have suggested that coordinated action provides a basis for perceptual emulation, a process through which self-perception can inform the understanding of other social agents and facilitate observational learning when self/other actions overlap.”
