Body schema and body image--pros and cons. (2010, positive): “…aspect on which almost all taxonomies seem to agree, namely, the importance of functional roles in differentiating various types of body representation, and especially the role of guiding action for the body schema (Gallagher, 2005; Paillard, 1999; Schwoebel & Coslett, 2005; Sirigu et al., 1991).”
My body in the brain: a neurocognitive model of body-ownership. (2010, positive): “Schwoebel and Coslett (2005) suggested that this body-structural description is view-independent or even allocentric, but what seems to be important for the sense of body-ownership induced during the RHI is that the body-model operates off-line and more interestingly it seems to be normative (de…”
Words and the mind : how words capture human experience (2010, background): “Current psychological research takes it for granted that body parts named in language reflect the "true" and unique partitioning of the body (Schwoebel & Coslett, 2005; Sirigu, Grafman, Bressler, & Sunderland, 1991).”
Multimodal contributions to body representation (2016, background): “All these inputs are combined to construct the large variety of body representations that we have (de Vignemont, 2010; Schwoebel and Coslett, 2005).”
