This study explores the neural mechanisms behind imitative behavior and how it is influenced by social cognition. By examining the interaction between motor control and social brain regions, the research aims to clarify how we distinguish between intentional actions and automatic imitation.
Recent work based on ideomotor theory and the discovery of the mirror neuron system has suggested that the observation of an action is associated with the activation of the corresponding motor representation in the observer.
In accordance with this hypothesis it has been demonstrated that observing an action interferes with one’s own actions when these are different from those being observed.
This, however, raises the question how we avoid automatic imitation?
