Perceiving imitatible stimuli: Consequences of isomorphism between input and output.

Abstract: For more than a century, psychologists have been intrigued by the idea that mental representations of perceived human actions are closely connected with mental representations of performing those same actions. In this article, connections between input and output representations are considered in terms of the potential for imitation. A broad range of evidence suggests that, for imitatible stimuli, input and output representations are isomorphic to one another, allowing mutual influence between perception and m… Show more

“…For instance, simply viewing the hand or neck of somebody else increases perceptual sensitivity at the same body site in the viewer (e.g., Tipper et al 1998Tipper et al , 2001). These findings indicate that perception-behavior links are an overarching property of the sensorimotor system and that all stimulus features that can also be features of an individual's own responses are mirrored (Wilson 2001;Hommel et al 2001;Prinz 1990). …”

“…Researchers have proposed that when viewing others performing actions, we perform internal simulations of that action (e.g., Rizzolatti, Craighero, & Fadiga, 2002;Wilson, 2001Wilson, , 2006Wilson & Knoblich, 2005), which have implications for directing spatial attention. Running an internal model of another's action permits observers to better predict the results of that action.…”

“…Moore (1977, 1997) hypothesize that imitation is mediated by a 'supramodal' action representation that enables commensurate coding of acts seen and acts done. Progress has been made in describing possible neural embodiments of such a supramodal representational system (e.g., Hurley & Chater, 2005;Meltzoff & Prinz, 2002) and scientists are examining connections between it and theories of action representation in cognitive psychology (e.g., Brass & Heyes, 2005;Hommel et al, 2001;Wilson, 2001). …”
