Contingency is Crucial for Creating Imitative Responses
A commentary on Acquisition of automatic imitation is sensitive to sensorimotor contingency In order to imitate, we must translate the visual representation of an action into the motor commands which will produce the same action. A growing body of evidence suggests that the mirror system – comprising brain areas active during both the observation and the performance of actions – is involved in ...

highly significant decrease in the number of GABAergic axon terminals at sites of seizure foci. The decreased number of GAD-positive terminals in our immunocytochemical preparations of epileptic monkey cortex could be explained by an alumina gelproduced loss of antigenicity of GAD molecules. However, this is unlikely since most of the alumina is located in macrophages with slight amounts in ast...
متن کاملMirror me: Imitative responses in adults with autism.
Dysfunctions of the human mirror neuron system have been postulated to underlie some deficits in autism spectrum disorders including poor imitative performance and impaired social skills. Using three reaction time experiments addressing mirror neuron system functions under simple and complex conditions, we examined 20 adult autism spectrum disorder participants and 20 healthy controls matched f...
متن کاملAutomatic imitation? Imitative compatibility affects responses at high perceptual load.
Imitation involves matching the visual representation of another's action onto the observer's own motor program for that action. However, there has been some debate regarding the extent to which imitation is "automatic"-that is, occurs without attention. Participants performed a perceptual load task in which images of finger movements were presented as distractors. Responses to target letter st...
متن کاملWhat Is Imitative Poetry and Why Is It Bad?
Plato’s argument against poetry in Republic 10 is perplexing. He condemns not all poetry, but only “however much of it is imitative (hosê mimêtikê)” (595a). A metaphysical charge against certain works of poetry – that they are forms of imitation, “at a third remove from the truth” – is thus used to justify an ethical charge: that these works cripple our thought and corrupt our souls. Unfortunat...
