Two problems of intersubjectivity (2009, background): “Among several alternatives to TT and ST, I have argued for what I call interaction theory (IT) (Gallagher, 2001; 2004; 2008a; 2008b; prior experience) can enhance the mirror resonance process is often cited by simulation theorists as evidence that mirror resonance is indeed a simulation process.”
Using Theory of Mind to represent and take part in social interactions: Comparing individuals with high-functioning autism and typically developing controls (2010, background): “Such interactions are rule driven and therefore predefine the meaning of most steps in the interaction, so global processing is no longer essential for appropriate responses (see also Gallagher, 2004).”
Self–other contingencies: Enacting social perception (2009, background): “…is that the latter is not concerned with developing 1 Even approaches that stress the interactive and embodied nature of social cognition (e.g., Gallagher 2004, 2008) are in need of further elaboration, specifically with regard to the precise role of interacting in intersubjectivity (De…”
The phenomenology and development of social perspectives (2013, background): “Autistic children lack the capacity of direct emotional perception and inter-bodily resonance that allows for perceiving others as feeling and minded beings (cf. Gallagher 2004; Hobson 2005).”
Phenomenology and Psychopathology (2010, background): “The sense of ownership probably depends on sensory feedback mechanisms that are intact in schizophrenia (Gallagher 2000b, 2004a).”
Participatory sense-making (2007, background): “For example, Gallagher’s ‘embodied practice of mind’ (whereby our embodiment allows for a direct perception of the expressiveness of the other’s body, Gallagher 2005) does not yet integrate a rich account of the interaction process and its role in social understanding, even though it certainly recog”
Mindreading in Infancy (2013, background): “The latter kind of view may be found in the sensorimotor contingency accounts of early mindreading provided by Gallagher (2001, 2004) and Hutto (2004, 2008).”
Inference or interaction: social cognition without precursors (2008, background): “(Goldman 2002, 7–8) The alternative to TT and ST that I, and several others, have proposed (Gallagher 2001; Hobson 1993, 2002; Hutto 2008a,b; Ratcliffe 2007; also see Slors 2007), and that, for convenience, I’ll call interaction theory (IT), challenges the ToMistic models on each of these…”
