Neural circuits involved in imitation and perspective-taking (2006, background): “Furthermore, interference between action observation and action execution has been demonstrated in a number of behavioral studies (Brass et al., 2001; Castiello, 2003; Kilner et al., 2003; Prinz, 2005), which also suggests a direct link between perception and action.”
Imitation, empathy, and mirror neurons. (2009, methodology): “The roots of the ideomotor framework were established by the work of Hermann Martin Lotze (Prinz 2005) and William James (1890).”
Positive Empathy and Prosocial Behavior: A Neglected Link (2016, unknown): “In accordance with the ideomotoric approach (W. Prinz, 2005), mirror neurons suggest that there is a common representation of perception and action; thus, simply observing another person’s intentional action will trigger corresponding motor neurons, and by projecting on the limbic system may…”
