“…Moreover, results showed longer RTs with AB objects than with TB ones. This could be due to the different representational processes involved in AB and TB movements (Ruotolo, Iachini et al, 2020). TB objects require imaging the relationship between the object and the participant's own body, whereas AB objects also require imaging the relationship between the object and another object in the external world (e.g., the hammer is used to hit a nail).…”

“…As a consequence, action planning with AB objects might reflect the habitual necessity of considering the multiple spatial relations between elements of the environment in which the action is performed. Ruotolo, Iachini, et al (2020) suggested that actions with TB objects are more linked to motor imagery processes, whereas actions with AB objects additionally involve visuo-spatial imagery processes useful to represent objects in the external environment (see also Kosslyn et al, 2001;Sirigu & Duhamel, 2001). This higher cognitive load could explain why the time spent in categorising AB objects was longer than for TB objects, when the actions were overtly represented (Experiment 1).…”

“…It is possible that the participants recognized their own movement accurately but could not perform the REP. However, a previous study suggested that the reproduced movement of tool-use action without holding the tool is likely based on internally recognized movement 1 . Thus, the reproduction capability would reflect the participant’s ability to recognize their own skilled movement.…”

“…The movement of a hand holding a real object may differ from the same movement reproduced using memory without holding the object. The reproduced movement is likely based on internally recognized movement 1 . Therefore, dissociation of the reproduced movement from the movement using an object originates from inaccurate recognition of the movement.…”

“…It is relevant that execution and comprehension of pantomime gestures strongly rely on mental imagery abilities (e.g. [56]), which also contribute to the process of scene construction [57]. These considerations open the way to the possibility that pantomimic narrative, being able to evoke visual representations of a narrative scene that enhance the transportive experience into story world, is an effective means of persuasion.…”
