The Representation of Observed Actions at the Subordinate, Basic, and Superordinate Level
T Zhuang, Z Kabulska, A Lingnau - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Actions can be planned and recognized at different hierarchical levels, ranging from very
specific (eg, to swim backstroke) to very broad (eg, locomotion). Understanding the …

Action categories in lateral occipitotemporal cortex are organized along sociality and transitivity
How neural specificity for distinct conceptual knowledge categories arises is central for
understanding the organization of semantic memory in the human brain. Although there is a …

The representational space of observed actions
Categorizing and understanding other people's actions is a key human capability. Whereas
there exists a growing literature regarding the organization of objects, the representational …

Decoding actions at different levels of abstraction
Brain regions that mediate action understanding must contain representations that are
action specific and at the same time tolerate a wide range of perceptual variance. Whereas …

Observed, executed, and imagined action representations can be decoded from ventral and dorsal areas
Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research on action observation has
emphasized the role of putative mirror neuron areas such as Broca's area, ventral premotor …

Neural representations of observed actions generalize across static and dynamic visual input
People interact with entities in the environment in distinct and categorizable ways (eg,
kicking is making contact with foot). We can recognize these action categories across …

MEG multivariate analysis reveals early abstract action representations in the lateral occipitotemporal cortex
Understanding other people's actions is a fundamental prerequisite for social interactions.
Whether action understanding relies on simulating the actions of others in the observers' …

Objects tell us what action we can expect: dissociating brain areas for retrieval and exploitation of action knowledge during action observation in fMRI
Objects are reminiscent of actions often performed with them: knife and apple remind us on
peeling the apple or cutting it. Mnemonic representations of object-related actions (action …

Distinct roles of temporal and frontoparietal cortex in representing actions across vision and language
MF Wurm, A Caramazza - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Both temporal and frontoparietal brain areas are associated with the representation of
knowledge about the world, in particular about actions. However, what these brain regions …

Understanding the goals of everyday instrumental actions is primarily linked to object, not motor-kinematic, information: Evidence from fMRI
T Nicholson, M Roser, P Bach - PLoS One, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Prior research conceptualised action understanding primarily as a kinematic matching of
observed actions to own motor representations but has ignored the role of object …
