Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions: Effects of practice and expertise (2007, background): “Thus, the observed motor cortical engagement presumably reflected " low-level resonance " between visual and motor representations rather than " high-level resonance " (Rizzolatti et al., 2002; Rizzolatti, 2005b).”
1 Imitation and Other Minds: The "Like Me" Hypothesis (2005, background): “An important task for the future is to analyze the commonalities and differences in these proposed mechanisms, and relevant papers are beginning to emerge (e.g., Meltzoff & Decety, 2003; Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
A Systematic Review of Action Imitation in Autistic Spectrum Disorder (2004, background): “Rizzolatti et al. (2002) have found that ‘‘mirror neurons’’ can show high or low congruence.”
Towards a unified science of cultural evolution. (2006, background): “…of motor actions has led some researchers to suggest that the mirror-neuron system forms the basis both for imitation (Meltzoff & Decety 2003; Rizzolatti et al. 2002; Williams et al. 2001), which is one possible cultural transmission mechanism, and for theory of mind (Gallese & Goldman…”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, background): “Iacobani et al. 1999; Rizzolatti et al. 2002; Gallese 2003).”
Social Cognition and Interpersonal Impairments in Trauma Survivors with PTSD (2009, background): “The capacity to understand others might thus be based on mirror neurons ( Gallese, 2003 ; Rizzolatti, Fadiga, Fogassi, & Gallese, 2002 ).”
Where do mirror neurons come from? (2010, result): “Therefore evidence of mirror neuron system activity in newborn monkeys or humans would provide strong support for the adaptation hypothesis over the associative hypothesis (Meltzoff and Decety, 2003; Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
