• Joint action: bodies and minds moving together. (2006, background): “For instance, a recent study on patterns of eye‐hand coordination showed that when individuals observed a person stacking blocks, their gaze preceded the action and predicted a forthcoming grip, just like when they performed the block-stacking task themselves [ 27 ].”
• Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, background): “Flanagan and Johansson (2003) inferred that the action repertoire of the observer was engaged to predict THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2008, 61 (6) 833 what the actor intended to do, rather than to merely passively observe (see Rotman, Troje, Johansson, & Flanagan, 2006, for a…”
• How children with autism look at events (2009, neutral): “When observing someone else performing the actions, adults move gaze predictively to the goal in the same manner as when they perform the actions themselves (Flanagan & Johansson, 2003).”
• Facilitating Understanding of Movements in Dynamic Visualizations: an Embodied Perspective (2011, background): “…and behavioral tasks, researchers have demonstrated that the neural substrates used to perform an action are recruited when observing someone else performs an action and that this neural activation enables action understanding (e.g., Calvo-Merino et al. 2005, 2006; Flanagan and Johansson 2003).”
• Coding and use of tactile signals from the fingertips in object manipulation tasks (2009, background): “When people direct actions towards visible objects, action-phase controllers provide instructions for task- and phase-specific eye movements so as to acquire visual information that supports the planning and control of hand action”
• Spatiotemporal Movement Planning and Rapid Adaptation for Manual Interaction (2013, background): “While watching the actions of others, even human eye movements are predictive rather than reactive [34].”
• Eye–hand coordination in a sequential target contact task (2009, result): “This Wnding is consistent with our previous results showing that, in a block stacking task, changes in movement duration aVect gaze arrival, but not gaze exit times (Flanagan and Johansson 2003).”
• Task and context determine where you look. (2016, background): “In a block-sorting task in which subjects watched a person stacking a set of blocks, gaze was predictively directed toward expected points of interaction (Flanagan & Johansson, 2003).”
• Listening to Action-related Sentences Activates Fronto-parietal Motor Circuits (2005, background): “Motor programs equivalent to those used in actions are instinctively and simultaneously implemented during action observation, allowing the outcome of the observed action to be predicted (Flanagan & Johansson, 2003).”
• Principles of sensorimotor learning (2011, background): “This coupling can even be seen at the behavioural level; when watching an actor manipulate objects, the observer’s gaze behaviour closely corresponds to that of the actor 122,123 .”
• Psychological research on joint action: Theory and data (2011, background): “A study by Flanagan and Johansson (2003) demonstrates that perception–action matching can result in predictive eye movements, implying that an observer allocates attention to location or objects that the observed actor is expected to manipulate next.”
• Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “Awareness can lag the onset of physical stimuli by 100–400 ms (92), and in some conditions, another person’s actions are predicted 100–150 ms beforehand (20, 62, 137).”
• Eye–Hand Coordination during Learning of a Novel Visuomotor Task (2005, background): “, 2001 ; Flanagan and Johansson , 2003 ; Crawford et al .”
