Body image and body schema : The shared representation of body image and the role of dynamic body schema in perspective and imitation

Abstract: Our commentary addresses two issues that in our opinion are not developed enough in the target article. First, the model does not clearly address the distinction among external objects, external body parts, and internal bodies. Second, the authors could have discussed further the role of body schema with regard to its dynamic character, the role of perspective, and the role of body schema in imitation.
