Action observation treatment: a novel tool in neurorehabilitation

G Buccino - … Transactions of the Royal Society B …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
This review focuses on a novel rehabilitation approach known as action observation
treatment (AOT). It is now a well-accepted notion in neurophysiology that the observation of …

Predictive joint-action model: A hierarchical predictive approach to human cooperation

A Pesquita, RL Whitwell, JT Enns - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018 - Springer
Research in a number of related fields has recently begun to focus on the perceptual,
cognitive, and motor workings of cooperative behavior. There appears to be enough …

[HTML][HTML] One step ahead: The perceived kinematics of others' actions are biased toward expected goals.

M Hudson, T Nicholson, WA Simpson… - Journal of …, 2016 - psycnet.apa.org
Action observation is often conceptualized in a bottom-up manner, where sensory
information activates conceptual (or motor) representations. In contrast, here we show that …

Action prediction in younger versus older adults: neural correlates of motor familiarity

N Diersch, K Mueller, ES Cross, W Stadler, M Rieger… - Plos one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Generating predictions during action observation is essential for efficient navigation through
our social environment. With age, the sensitivity in action prediction declines. In younger …

Movement kinematics affect action prediction: comparing human to non-human point-light actions

W Stadler, A Springer, J Parkinson, W Prinz - Psychological research, 2012 - Springer
The influence of movement kinematics on the accuracy of predicting the time course of
another individual's actions was studied. A human point-light shape was animated with …

Predicting actions from subtle preparatory movements

M Vaziri-Pashkam, S Cormiea, K Nakayama - Cognition, 2017 - Elsevier
To study how people anticipate others' actions, we designed a competitive reaching task.
Subjects faced each other separated by a Plexiglas screen and their finger movements in …

Action simulation: time course and representational mechanisms

A Springer, J Parkinson, W Prinz - Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
The notion of action simulation refers to the ability to re-enact foreign actions (ie, actions
observed in other individuals). Simulating others' actions implies a mirroring of their …

You said you would! The predictability of other's behavior from their intentions determines predictive biases in action perception.

M Hudson, P Bach, T Nicholson - Journal of Experimental …, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
The perception of an action is shifted farther along the observed trajectory if the observer
has prior knowledge of the actor's intention. This intention-action prediction effect is …

Representational momentum of biological motion in full-body, point-light and single-dot displays

E Zucchini, D Borzelli, A Casile - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Observing the actions of others triggers, in our brain, an internal and automatic simulation of
its unfolding in time. Here, we investigated whether the instantaneous internal …

[HTML][HTML] Predictive action tracking without motor experience in 8-month-old infants

CCJM de Klerk, V Southgate, G Csibra - Brain and cognition, 2016 - Elsevier
A popular idea in cognitive neuroscience is that to predict others' actions, observers need to
map those actions onto their own motor repertoire. If this is true, infants with a relatively …
