The heterogenous nature of breast tumours (Hawkins et al., 1977; Silfversward et al., 1980) complicates the application of oestrogen receptor assay results to the management of breast cancer.

Kids observing other kids' hands: visuomotor priming in children.

We investigated motor resonance in children using a priming paradigm. Participants were asked to judge the weight of an object shortly primed by a hand in an action-related posture (grasp) or a non action-related one (fist). The hand prime could belong to a child or to an adult. We found faster response times when the object was preceded by a grasp hand posture (motor resonance effect). More cr...
