Neural correlates of rapid reversal learning in a simple model of human social interaction (2003, background): “If the group activation observed in this study is indeed in the anterior paracingulate cortex, this would be further evidence for a role of this region in theory of mind and mentalizing (Adolphs, 2003; Blakemore and Decety, 2001; Frith and Frith, 1999; Gallagher and Frith, 2003).”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, background): “The medial frontal region is known to play a critical role in inferring others' intentions and is consistently involved in mentalizing tasks (Blakemore & Decety 2001).”
Conversation and Coordinative Structures (2009, background): “…et al. (2006) suggest that the hypothesized shared representations would serve to facilitate the understanding of the actions of another (e.g., Blakemore & Decety, 2001; Richardson & Dale, 2005), predict the actions of others (e.g., Ramenzoni, Riley, Shockley, & Davis, 2008; Bosbach, Cole,…”
What Do Mirror Neurons Contribute to Human Social Cognition (2008, background): “If we give up the assumption of strict congruence between the motor and perceptual properties of MNs, the question arises: what brain structures does the agent share with a conspecific observing him? What computational theorists of action (Blakemore and Decety, 2001; Blakemore et al., 2001; Miall, 2”
It's all in the timing: Interpersonal synchrony increases affiliation (2009, background): “Perceiving an agent’s action automatically and directly maps onto the observer’s action system, creating a neural coupling between the agent and observer (Blakemore & Decety, 2001; Semin & Cacioppo, 2008).”
The neural bases of social cognition and story comprehension. (2011, background): “…have proposed that these “mirror neurons” support ToM and social understanding in humans through the simulation of a target person’s actions (e.g., Blakemore & Decety 2001, Blakemore & Frith 2005, Gallese et al. 2004, Iacoboni 2009, Keysers & Perrett 2004, Prinz 2006, Rizzolatti & Craighero…”
The relation between language and theory of mind in development and evolution (2002, positive): “This system would match up patterns in the other’s behavior with patterns in one’s own behavior (Blakemore & Decety, 2001), then patterns in one’s own behavior with (a vague awareness of) one’s own mental state, finally leading to a projective inference of one’s own mental state to the other person…”
Dark, Beyond Deep: A Paradigm Shift to Cognitive AI with Humanlike Common Sense (2020, background): “[326] Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, Jean Decety, From the perception of action to the understanding of intention, Nature reviews neuroscience 2 (8) (2001) 561.”
The neuronal basis and ontogeny of empathy and mind reading: review of literature and implications for future research. (2006, methodology): “Since the discovery of these ''mirror neurons'' a similar common coding of the production and perception of motor action has been demonstrated in the human brain using imaging techniques such as PET and fMRI (for a review, see Blakemore and Decety, 2001; Grezes and Decety, 2001).”
AGENCY AND SELF-AWARENESS: ISSUES IN PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY (2003, background): “J. Proust juin 14, 2007 , 16:06 hand, this feeling is directly related to world-directed perception ; on the other hand, such a perception is compared with a feedforward model of the developing dynamical context (Blakemore et al., 1999, 2001).”
Perception of human motion. (2007, background): “Interested readers can consult other available publications that review material on human action and social perception (Allison et al. 2000, Blakemore & Decety 2001, Knoblich et al. 2006, Puce & Perrett 2003).”
Shared representations between self and other: a social cognitive neuroscience view. (2003, methodology): “[81]. In addition, Blakemore and Decety have discussed how this forward model could be used to predict what another person will do [ 82 ].”
Long-term musical group interaction has a positive influence on empathy in children (2013, background): “…of music (Langer, 1953; Scruton, 1997; Webb, 1769/2003) and in its production, but have also been suggested to facilitate action understanding (Blakemore & Decety, 2001); imitation, which is apparent in the physical mimicry of other players’ movements as well as in the repetition of musical…”
