TLDR
A “two route” neurocognitive model of tool use is presented called the “Two Action Systems Plus (2AS+)” framework that posits a complementary role for online and stored information and specifies the neuroc cognitive substrates of task-relevant action selection.Abstract:
The reasoning-based approach championed by Francois Osiurak and Arnaud Badets (Osiurak & Badets, 2016) denies the existence of sensory-motor memories of tool use except in limited circumstances, and suggests instead that most tool use is subserved solely by online technical reasoning about tool properties. In this commentary, I highlight the strengths and limitations of the reasoning-based approach and review a number of lines of evidence that manipulation knowledge is in fact used in tool action tasks. In addition, I present a "two route" neurocognitive model of tool use called the "Two Action Systems Plus (2AS+)" framework that posits a complementary role for online and stored information and specifies the neurocognitive substrates of task-relevant action selection. This framework, unlike the reasoning based approach, has the potential to integrate the existing psychological and functional neuroanatomic data in the tool use domain.

The topographical organization of motor processing: An ALE meta-analysis on six action domains and the relevance of Broca’s region
TL;DR: It is proposed that the motor-related network encompassing pBA44 is recruited when processing movements requiring a mental representation of the action itself, and distinct functional patterns for the different domains with convergence in posterior BA44 (pBA44) for execution, imitation and imagery processing.

Cerebral correlates of imitation of intransitive gestures: An integrative review of neuroimaging data and brain lesion studies.
Mathieu Lesourd,François Osiurak,Josselin Baumard,Angela Bartolo,Tim Vanbellingen,Emanuelle Reynaud +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that imitation of intransitive gestures is relying upon a bilateral brain network including fronto‐parietal areas irrespective of meaning or body parts, and this results question neuropsychological theories on apraxia and open promising avenues for a better understanding of Apraxia.

To Watch is to Work: a Review of NeuroImaging Data on Tool Use Observation Network.

TL;DR: The neural correlates associated with the observation of tool-use reported here offer new insights into the neurocognitive bases of action observation and tool use, as well as addressing more fundamental issues on the origins of specifically human phenomena such as cumulative technological evolution.

Technition: When Tools Come Out of the Closet.
François Osiurak,François Osiurak,Mathieu Lesourd,Jordan Navarro,Jordan Navarro,Emanuelle Reynaud +5 more
TL;DR: It is developed the thesis that the technical mind originates in perhaps uniquely human neurocognitive skills, namely, technical-reasoning skills involving the area PF within the left inferior parietal lobe, which justifies the emergence of a new field in the cognitive sciences dedicated to the intelligence hidden behind tools and other forms of technologies.

Looking for intoolligence: A unified framework for the cognitive study of human tool use and technology.
François Osiurak,Dietmar Heinke +1 more
TL;DR: This article presents the first unified framework for intoolligence, aiming to overcome issues by focusing on the cognitive processes involved in the different forms taken by human tool use and technology, rather than on the overt behavior.

An Internal Model for Sensorimotor Integration
TL;DR: A sensorimotor integration task was investigated in which participants estimated the location of one of their hands at the end of movements made in the dark and under externally imposed forces, providing direct support for the existence of an internal model.

TL;DR: This goal is to demonstrate how specific models emerging from the computational approach provide a theoretical framework for movement neuroscience.

TL;DR: It is shown how damage to different components of this framework can account for the major symptom clusters of the fluent aphasias, and some recent evidence concerning how sentence-level processing might be integrated into the framework is discussed.

The Representation of Object Concepts in the Brain
TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging of the human brain indicates that information about salient properties of an object is stored in sensory and motor systems active when that information was acquired, suggesting that object concepts are not explicitly represented, but rather emerge from weighted activity within property-based brain regions.

The selective impairment of semantic memory.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that this impairment of semantic memory cannot be accounted for by intellectual impairment, sensory or perceptual deficits, or expressive language disorder, and some tentative evidence for the structural basis for a hierarchically organized modality-specific semantic memory system is discussed.
