The manifold nature of interpersonal relations: the quest for a common mechanism. (2003, background): “According to Meltzoff (2002), intermodal mapping can be conceived of as a 'supramodal act space', unconstrained by any particular mode of interaction , visual or motor.”
Integration of Visual and Auditory Information by Superior Temporal Sulcus Neurons Responsive to the Sight of Actions (2005, background): “Understanding actions could be based upon a matching of sensory input to the motor representation of the same action within premotor cortex (Bekkering & Wohlschlaeger, 2002; Prinz, 2002; Viviani, 2002; Iacoboni et al., 1999).”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, result): “They looked longer at the adult who was imitating them; smiled more at this adult; and most significantly, directed testing behaviour at that adult (for similar results, see also Asendorph (2002) and Nadel (2002)).”
Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions: Effects of practice and expertise (2007, background): “In contrast, given the high degree of visuomotor compatibility in imitation paradigms (Meltzoff and Prinz, 2002), prefrontal engagement might not be expected.”
'Like me': a foundation for social cognition. (2007, background): “This hypothesis of a supramodal act space that emerged from developmental science is compatible with discoveries in neuroscience concerning mirror neurons (e.g. Gallese, 2003; Iacoboni, 2005; Rizzolatti, 2005) and proposals in cognitive science about action coding (e.g. Prinz, 2002).”
The Roots of Empathy: The Shared Manifold Hypothesis and the Neural Basis of Intersubjectivity (2003, neutral): “Meltzoff AN, Moore MK: Imitation of facial and manual gestures by human neonates.”
Inter-Brain Synchronization during Social Interaction (2010, positive): “Though imitation is commonly considered as a foundation for learning, socialization and communication [21,22], its use as a paradigm has been limited so far to test the direct matching hypothesis in an intraindividual perspective [23–27].”
