Action mirroring and action understanding in children
The past decade has experienced an increasing interest in action underestanding and children’s mirroring of others’ behavior. Behavioral investigations have focused on the development and significance of mimicry, goal prediction and imitation. Others have focused on the neural basis of action mirroring, identifying particular electrophysiological markers or related brain regions. A vivid debate...
متن کاملVisual Awareness and Visuomotor Action
Recent work in "embodied, embedded" cognitive science links mental contents to largescale distributed effects: dynamic patterns implicating elements of (what are traditionally seen as) sensing, reasoning and acting. Central to this approach is an idea of biological cognition as profoundly "action-oriented" geared not to the creation of rich, passive inner models of the world, but to the cheap a...

introduction: family planning is the most effective strategy in reducing the world population. family planning was replaced by reproductive health since 1994 and the role of men is one of the most important aspects of this program. therefore, determination of men's knowledge in family planning and the role of education in enhancing the awareness are important. this study has been performed...
متن کاملVisible embodiment: gestures as simulated action.
Spontaneous gestures that accompany speech are related to both verbal and spatial processes. We argue that gestures emerge from perceptual and motor simulations that underlie embodied language and mental imagery. We first review current thinking about embodied cognition, embodied language, and embodied mental imagery. We then provide evidence that gestures stem from spatial representations and ...
متن کاملThe specificity of action knowledge in sensory and motor systems
Neuroimaging studies have found that sensorimotor systems are engaged when participants observe actions or comprehend action language. However, most of these studies have asked the binary question of whether action concepts are embodied or not, rather than whether sensory and motor areas of the brain contain graded amounts of information during putative action simulations. To address this quest...
