Abstract

The mechanism by which humans perceive others differs greatly from how humans perceive inanimate objects. Unlike inanimate objects, humans have the distinct property of being "like me" in the eyes of the observer. This allows us to use the same systems that process knowledge about self-performed actions, self-conceived thoughts, and self-experienced emotions to understand actions, thoughts, and emotions in others. The authors propose that internal simulation mechanisms, such as the mirror neuron system, are necessary for normal development of recognition, imitation, theory of mind, empathy, and language. Additionally, the authors suggest that dysfunctional simulation mechanisms may underlie the social and communicative deficits seen in individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

“Indeed, a role of mirror system dysfunction has recently been hypothesized for autism spectrum disorder.(32,33) Autism spectrum disorder is most likely a polygenetic disorder that is expressed as impairment of gray matter architecture and of corticocortical intrahemispheric connections.”

“Interestingly, these regions include the mirror neuron system, which has been hypothesized by some to be critical in autism (Dapretto et al., 2006; Hadjikhani et al., 2006; Oberman et al., 2005; Oberman and Ramachandran, 2007; Williams et al., 2001, 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
