Resubmitted to: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance ACQUISITION OF AUTOMATIC IMITATION IS SENSITIVE TO SENSORIMOTOR CONTINGENCY Key words: Automatic imitation, associative sequence learning, mirror neuron system, contingency, sensorimotor learning
The associative sequence learning model proposes that the development of the mirror system depends on the same mechanisms of associative learning that mediate Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning. To test this model, two experiments used the reduction of automatic imitation through incompatible sensorimotor training to assess whether mirror system plasticity is sensitive to contingency (i.e....

متن کاملAssociative (not Hebbian) learning and the mirror neuron system.
The associative sequence learning (ASL) hypothesis suggests that sensorimotor experience plays an inductive role in the development of the mirror neuron system, and that it can play this crucial role because its effects are mediated by learning that is sensitive to both contingency and contiguity. The Hebbian hypothesis proposes that sensorimotor experience plays a facilitative role, and that i...
متن کاملContingency is Crucial for Creating Imitative Responses
A commentary on Acquisition of automatic imitation is sensitive to sensorimotor contingency In order to imitate, we must translate the visual representation of an action into the motor commands which will produce the same action. A growing body of evidence suggests that the mirror system – comprising brain areas active during both the observation and the performance of actions – is involved in ...
متن کاملContextual modulation of mirror and countermirror sensorimotor associations.
Automatic imitation-the unintended copying of observed actions-is thought to be a behavioral product of the mirror neuron system (MNS). Evidence that the MNS develops through associative learning comes from previous research showing that automatic imitation is attenuated by countermirror training, in which the observation of one action is paired contingently with the execution of a different ac...
