Predictive gaze shifts elicited during observed and performed actions in 10-month-old infants and adults

TLDR
The close similarity between adults' and infants' actions when performing the movements and the great advantage of the adults when observing them support the conclusion that one's own motor actions develop ahead of the ability to predict other people's actions.

Reflecting on the mirror neuron system in autism: a systematic review of current theories.

TL;DR: Overall, there is little evidence for a global dysfunction of the mirror system in autism and current data can be better understood under an alternative model in which social top-down response modulation is abnormal in autism.

Anticipatory Adjustments to Being Picked Up in Infancy

TL;DR: Early anticipatory adjustments to being picked up suggest that infants’ awareness of actions directed to the self may occur earlier than of those directed elsewhere, and thus enable infants‘ active participation in joint actions from early in life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Action production influences 12-month-old infants' attention to others' actions.

TL;DR: A positive relationship was revealed: infants who received the behavior task first evidenced a strong correlation between their own actions and their subsequent gaze latency of another's actions, demonstrating a direct influence of the motor system on online visual attention to others' actions early in development.

Looking Ahead: Anticipatory Gaze and Motor Ability in Infancy

TL;DR: Infants’ ability in performing precision grasping strongly predicted their ability in using the actor’s hand shape cues to differentially anticipate the goal of the observed action, even when age was partialled out.
Journal ArticleDOI

What are you doing? How active and observational experience shape infants' action understanding

TL;DR: It is argued that active action experience is crucial for infants' developing action understanding and based on these two forms of experience—active action experience and observational experience—infants gradually develop more complex action understanding capabilities.

The mirror-neuron system.

TL;DR: A neurophysiological mechanism appears to play a fundamental role in both action understanding and imitation, and those properties specific to the human mirror-neuron system that might explain the human capacity to learn by imitation are stressed.

Action recognition in the premotor cortex

TL;DR: It is proposed that mirror neurons form a system for matching observation and execution of motor actions, similar to that of mirror neurons exists in humans and could be involved in recognition of actions as well as phonetic gestures.

Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the development of the lateral verbal communication system in man derives from a more ancient communication system based on recognition of hand and face gestures.

Research report Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions

TL;DR: In the monkey premotor cortex there are neurons that discharge both when the monkey performs an action and when he observes a similar action made by another monkey or by the experimenter as mentioned in this paper.

Parietal lobe: from action organization to intention understanding.

TL;DR: Inferior parietal lobule neurons were studied when monkeys performed motor acts embedded in different actions and when they observed similar acts done by an experimenter to allow the observer to understand the agent's intentions.
