with executing that action. This covert response, or automatic imitation, is measured …

Simulation accounts of speech perception posit that speech is covertly imitated to support
perception in a top-down manner. Behaviourally, covert imitation is measured through the …

underlying vocal imitation, approached from the speaker's perspective through a multi-stage …

Humans have a tendency to imitate the actions they observe in others, a process assumed
to rely on an automatic bottom-up mapping of observed action features to one's own motor …
