Brain Mechanisms in Early Language Acquisition (2010, background): “…but increasing activity that was temporally synchronized between the auditory and motor brain regions in 6- and 12-month-old infants (from Imada et al., 2006). tradition (Kuhl and Meltzoff, 1996; Meltzoff and Decety, 2003; Pulvermuller, 2005; Rizzolatti, 2005; Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004).”
'Obsessed with goals': functions and mechanisms of teleological interpretation of actions in humans. (2007, background): “Simulation procedures have also been suggested to play an important role in reproduction of actions (Iacoboni, 2005; Meltzoff, 2005).”
Is speech learning 'gated' by the social brain? (2007, background): “Work on 'mirror neurons' in nonhuman primates indicates a neural link between the self and other; seeing an action and producing it oneself are neurally equivalent in adult monkeys, and this ability plays a role in imitation and social understanding (Meltzoff & Decety, 2003; Rizzolatti, 2005).”
The interactive brain hypothesis (2012, background): “Although imitation in infancy remains the topic of ongoing debate (see Hurley and Chater, 2005a,b for representative positions; also Ray and Heyes, 2011), in the context of the IBH it is interesting to note that imitation has primarily been discussed in terms of motor-based accounts of how we…”
