Clever chameleon: the influence of action observation on action
execution
Marcel Brass
Department of Experimental Psychology, Ghent University, Belgium
Almost 15 years ago first behavioural studies demonstrated that the
observation of an action leads to an automatic activation of a
corresponding motor representation in the observer. Ever since, numerous
behavioural studies have investigated ‘automatic imitation’ using
interference tasks and social imitation tasks. In my talk, I will first
outline different theoretical accounts of automatic imitation. Then I
will report research investigating the conditions under which automatic
imitation occurs. Finally, I will report recent studies addressing the
question whether we can represent multiple actions/agents in parallel
and whether automatic imitation is anticipatory by nature.- See more at:
