Covert and overt automatic imitation are correlated
Most theoretical accounts of imitation assume that covert and overt measures of automatic imitation tap into the same underlying construct. Despite...

Automatic imitation of speech is enhanced for non-native sounds
Simulation accounts of speech perception posit that speech is covertly imitated to support perception in a top-down manner. Behaviourally, covert...

Automatic imitation of human and computer-generated vocal stimuli
Observing someone perform an action automatically activates neural substrates associated with executing that action. This covert response, or automatic...

Group membership does not modulate automatic imitation
Individuals have the automatic tendency to imitate each other. A key prediction of different theories explaining automatic imitation is that...

Imitation or Polarity Correspondence? Behavioural and Neurophysiological Evidence for the Confounding Influence of Orthogonal Spatial Compatibility on Measures of Automatic Imitation
During social interactions, humans tend to imitate one another involuntarily. To investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms driving this tendency,...

Automatic discovery and description of human planning strategies
Scientific discovery concerns finding patterns in data and creating insightful hypotheses that explain these patterns. Traditionally, each step of...

Effects of intention in the imitation of sung and spoken pitch
Pitch content is an important component of song and speech. Previous studies have shown a pronounced advantage for imitation of sung pitch over...

Autistic children’s language imitation shows reduced sensitivity to ostracism
In dialogue, speakers tend to imitate, or align with, a partner’s language choices. Higher levels of alignment facilitate communication and can be...

Neonatal Imitation and Children with Autism or Down Syndrome
Little is known and few observations have been reported when it comes to imitation during the newborn period among children following atypical...

Not So Automatic Imitation: Expectation of Incongruence Reduces Interference in Both Autism Spectrum Disorder and Typical Development
Research has observed evidence for both hypo -(supposedly due to a broken mirror neuron system) and hyper -(thought to be the result of deficits in...

Sensorimotor training modulates automatic imitation of visual speech
The observation-execution links underlying automatic-imitation processes are suggested to result from associative sensorimotor experience of...

The Tact is Being Emitted by the Child: Replicating and Extending Parity Research with English-Speaking, Typically Develo** Children
Parity is one source of automatic reinforcement that increases the probability of verbal behavior that conforms to models provided by the verbal...

Imitation of action-effects increases social affiliation
Imitating someone’s actions influences social-affective evaluations and motor performance for the action model and the imitator alike. Both phenomena...
