Grounding Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in Sensorimotor Anticipation (2011, background): “Other, related studies (Decety, 1996; Decety et al., 1989; Decety and Grèzes, 2006) have shown that the timing of observed, imagined and executed actions is the same, leading to the conclusion that they share the same neural substrate.”
TRoPICALS: a computational embodied neuroscience model of compatibility effects. (2010, background): “Note that the notion of “simulation” has been defined in different ways (for a detailed analysis of this concept, see Borghi & Cimatti, 2010, and Pezzulo, 2008; for a review, see Decety and Grezes, 2006).”
The representation of abstract words: why emotion matters. (2011, background): “…Jackendoff, 2002), embodied theories of cognition (an early example of which is dual coding theory) propose that cognition is grounded in bodily states, modal simulations, and situated action (Barsalou, 1999; Barsalou et al., 2003; Decety & Grezes, 2006; Gibbs, 2006; Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004).”
Mirroring others' emotions relates to empathy and interpersonal competence in children (2008, background): “…simulating their actions, intentions, and emotions (as well as sensations) in our minds — thus relying on our own mental states to inform our understanding of other individuals (for a discussion of different shared representation accounts of social cognition, see Decety and Grezes, 2006).”
The Many Faces of Empathy: Parsing Empathic Phenomena through a Proximate, Dynamic-Systems View of Representing the Other in the Self (2012, positive): “This process combines higher level executive control, attention, and workingmemory processes to generate an internal image of the experience (Decety & Grezes, 2006), which can then activate personal representations and downstream bodily sensations.”
In the Eye of the Beholder: Individual Differences in Perceived Social Isolation Predict Regional Brain Activation to Social Stimuli (2009, methodology): “Activation of the TPJ has been associated with tasks involving theory of mind (Saxe & Kanwisher, 2003), inferences of social intentions (Ciaramidaro et al., in press; Decety & Grezes, 2006), attentional reorienting (Decety & Lamm, 2007), and the sense of agency (Decety & Lamm, 2007).”
A developmental, mentalization-based approach to the understanding and treatment of borderline personality disorder (2009, background): “The TPJ is involved in perspective taking (e.g., Aichhorn, Perner, Kronbichler, Staffen, & Ladurner, 2006), in sense of agency (e.g., Decety & Grezes, 2006), and mentalizing (Frith & Frith, 2006).”
Analyzing Neuroimaging Data Through Recurrent Deep Learning Models (2018, background): “…self-produced actions and the actions produced Frontiers in Neuroscience | www.frontiersin.org 12 December 2019 | Volume 13 | Article 1321 by others and is generally regarded of as a central hub for the integration of body-related information (for a detailed review, see Decety and Grèzes, 2006).”
Human Empathy Through the Lens of Social Neuroscience (2006, background): “These results reveal the similarities in neural networks representing first- and third-person information, which is consistent with the shared representations account of social interaction[38].”
Facilitating Understanding of Movements in Dynamic Visualizations: an Embodied Perspective (2011, background): “Most accounts of embodied cognition focus on the role of simulations in cognition (e.g. Barsalou 1999; Decety and Grèzes 2006).”
The Social Neuroscience of Empathy (2009, background): “Mental imagery, for example, has been shown to result in shared representations in both the motor and the sensory-affective domain without considerable prefrontal activation (e.g., Decety & Grezes 2006; Ogino et al. 2007).”
