This article argues that mirror neurons originate in sensorimotor associative learning and
therefore a new approach is needed to investigate their functions. Mirror neurons were …

Grounded cognition rejects traditional views that cognition is computation on amodal
symbols in a modular system, independent of the brain's modal systems for perception …

“This is an important book and likely the most thoughtful of the year in the social sciences...
Highly recommended, it is likely to prove one of the most thought-provoking books of the …

Ten years ago, Perspectives in Psychological Science published the Mirror Neuron Forum,
in which authors debated the role of mirror neurons in action understanding, speech …

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity is considered the neurophysiological basis of Hebbian
learning and has been shown to be sensitive to both contingency and contiguity between …

The classical, disembodied approach to music cognition conceptualizes action and
perception as separate, peripheral processes. In contrast, embodied accounts of music …

Previously, the construct of situated conceptualization developed as an account of how
simulations of conceptual knowledge become situated (Barsalou, 2003a-b, 2005a-b, 2008a …

The consensus view in mirror neuron research is that mirror neurons comprise a uniform,
stable execution–observation matching system. In this opinion article, we argue that, in light …

There are cells in our motor cortex that fire both when we perform and when we observe
similar actions. It has been suggested that these perceptual‐motor couplings in the brain …

The influence of the Rescorla-Wagner model cannot be overestimated, despite that (1) the
model does not differ much computationally from its predecessors and competitors, and (2) …
