Multisensory Stimulation in Stroke Rehabilitation (2012, background): “These and other studies have let to the suggestion that mirror neurons may be a product of associative learning (Catmur et al., 2009, 2011; Kilner et al., 2009a,b; Heyes, 2010).”
Brain regions with mirror properties: a meta-analysis of 125 human fMRI studies. (2012, background): “On the other hand, it has recently been proposed that mirror activity is widespread in the human brain (e.g., Keysers and Gazzola, 2009; Heyes, 2010).”
The interactive brain hypothesis (2012, background): “From the IBH perspective we could make better sense of the evidence of the plasticity of the adult human mirror system (Catmur et al., 2007; Heyes, 2010), which is not buffered against radical reconfiguration even after relatively small amounts of training.”
Sensorimotor Integration in Speech Processing: Computational Basis and Neural Organization (2011, neutral): “…al., 1992; Gallese et al., 1996; Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004), although this view has been challenged on several fronts (Corina and Knapp, 2006; Emmorey et al., 2010; Hauser and Wood, 2010; Heyes, 2010; Hickok, 2009a; Hickok and Hauser, 2010; Knapp and Corina, 2010; Mahon and Caramazza, 2008).”
The Social Brain, Language, and Goal-Directed Collective Thinking: A Social Conception of Cognition and Its Implications for Understanding How We Think, Teach, and Learn (2013, background): “However, doubts have been expressed about the evolutionary account of the origins of mirror neurons in humans, for example by the psychologist Heyes (2010).”
