From representing actions to representing interactions: What is the role of motor simulation in interaction representation? Ghent University
Research has shown that we process other people’s actions by simulating them in our own motor system. This means that we represent observed actions as if we executed them ourselves. However, social life requires us to process not only observed actions but also observed interactions. Could interaction representation likewise rely on motor simulation? In my PhD, I showed that the motor system can simultaneously represent multiple observed ...
