Neural correlates of the empathic perceptual processing of realistic social interaction scenarios displayed from a first-order perspective
2014, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The here presented experimental procedure was developed to receive stimuli with high ecological validity by ensuring that they were strongly characterized by real-live-related properties of aggressive social interactions. Numerous studies showed that the presentation or the recall of action-related cues such as for instance action-related words and actions presented in video-clips produce activation patterns in brain regions that are thought to be directly or indirectly associated with real motor execution (e.g., Aziz-Zadeh et al., 2006; Buccino et al., 2001; Chaminade et al., 2002; Choi et al., 2001; Decety et al., 1997; Formaggio et al., 2010; Grézes et al., 1999; Jirak et al., 2010; Lyons et al., 2010; Molnar-Szakacs et al., 2005; Ueno et al., 2010). This phenomenon has been discussed in relation to real motor behavior preparation (e.g., Chaminade et al., 2002).
Imitation of an action course in preschool and school-aged children: A hierarchical reconstruction
2013, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :It is well documented that imitation involves an active reconstruction mechanism that children may employ when performing motor skills (Byrne, 1999; Gleissner, Meltzoff, & Bekkering, 2000; Vogt, 1995; Williamson & Markman, 2006). The reconstruction mechanism fundamentally depends on perception-action matching (Chaminade, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2002; Wohlschläger & Bekkering, 2002; Wohlschläger, Gatti, & Bekkering, 2003). The imitative matching has been attributed to several mechanisms, including mimicry (Meltzoff & Moore, 1977), stimulus enhancement (Heyes, 2001), and emulation (Tomasello, 1999).
Is learning by observation impaired in children with dyslexia?
2011, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Notably, neuroimaging studies have highlighted the additional activation of the cerebellar areas in concert with these neocortical structures in many forms of the “motor thought” whether or not it is accompanied by actual motor acts (Calvo-Merino et al., 2006). The marked cerebellar activations resulting from motor simulation seem to confirm that the cerebellum is part of the action imitation network (Chaminade, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2002; Sokolov, Gharabaghi, Tatagiba, & Pavlova, 2010). Could deficits in areas involved in perception-action matching be involved in the impaired observational learning found in dyslexic children?
