Contents:
An introduction to the imitative mind and brain / Wolfgang Prinz, Andrew N. Meltzoff -- Elements of a developmental theory of imitation / Andrew N. Meltzoff -- Imitation and imitation recognition : functional use in preverbal infants and nonverbal children with autism / Jacqueline Nadel -- Self-awareness, other-awareness, and secondary representation / Jens B. Asendorpf -- Notes on individual differences and the assumed elusiveness of neonatal imitation / Mikael Heimann -- Ego function of early imitation / Philippe Rochat -- The imitator's representation of the imitated : ape and child / Andrew Whiten -- Seeing actions as hierarchically organized structures : great ape manual skills / Richard W. Byrne -- Experimental approaches to imitation / Wolfgang Prinz -- Imitation : common mechanisms in the observation and execution of finger and mouth movements / Harold Bekkering -- Goal-directed imitation / Merideth Gattis, Harold Bekkering, Andreas Wohlschläger -- Visuomotor couplings in object-oriented and imitative actions / Stefan Vogt -- On bodies and events / Barbara Tversky, Julie Bauer Morrison, Jeff Zacks -- What is the body schema? / Catherine L. Reed -- From mirror neurons to imitation : facts and speculations / Giacomo Rizzolatti [and others] -- Cell populations in the banks of the superior temporal sulcus of the macaque and imitation / Tjeerd Jellema [and others] -- Is there such a thing as functional equivalence between imagined, observed, and executed action? / Jean Decety -- The role of imitation in body ownership and mental growth / Marcel Kinsbourne -- Imitation, apraxia, and hemisphere dominance / Georg Goldenberg, Joachim Hermsdörfer.
Summary: Imitation guides the behaviour of a range of species. Recent scientific advances in the study of imitation at multiple levels from neurons to behaviour have far-reaching implications for cognitive science, neuroscience, and evolutionary and developmental psychology. This volume provides a state-of-the-art summary of the research on imitation in both Europe and America, including work on infants, adults, and nonhuman primates, with speculations about robotics. A special feature of the book is that it provides a concrete instance of the links between developmental psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science. It showcases how an interdisciplinary approach to imitation can illuminate long-standing problems in the brain sciences, including consciousness, self, perception-action coding, theory of mind, and intersubjectivity. The book addresses what it means to be human and how we get that way.
