Experiments:

Observation of action for imitation versus observation of action for recognition. Observation of hand and arm action showed on a video for the purpose of later imitation. WOEXP: 160. Jean Decety; J.

Brain 120 ( Pt 10):1763-77, 1997. PMID: 9365369. WOBIB: 49. Observation of meaningful action for imitation versus observation of meaningless action. Observation of hand and arm meaningful action such as "opening a bottle", "drawing a line", "sewing a button" showed on a video for later imitation. WOEXP: 165. Jean Decety; J. Grezes; N.
