Identification: The missing link between joint attention and imitation?

Identification: the missing link between joint attention and imitation?

In this paper we outline our hypothesis that human intersubjective engagement entails identifying with other people. We tested a prediction derived from this hypothesis that concerned the relation between a component of joint attention and a specific form of imitation. The empirical investigation involved "blind" ratings of videotapes from a recent study in which we tested matched children with...

The missing link between hydrogenosomes and mitochondria.

Mitochondria typically respire oxygen and possess a small DNA genome. But among various groups of oxygen-shunning eukaryotes, typical mitochondria are often lacking, organelles called hydrogenosomes being found instead. Like mitochondria, hydrogenosomes are surrounded by a double-membrane, produce ATP and sometimes even have cristae. In contrast to mitochondria, hydrogenosomes produce molecular...

The Missing Link - between Requirements and Design

The combination of complex system design and management today requires a profound understanding of the relationships between the requirements and design processes throughout the product life cycle. To practice Systems Engineering merely as a technical matter is a serious misjudgment. Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach for all those involved in the Product Creation Process (PCP). The s...

The missing link between action and cognition.

The study of the neural correlates of motor behaviour at the systems level has received increasing consideration in recent years. One emerging observation from this research is that neural regions typically associated with cognitive operations may also be recruited during the performance of motor tasks. This apparent convergence between action and cognition - domains that have most often been s...
