The difficulty of the particular task used may make it necessary for subjects to construct an on-line somatosensory representation by internal simulation.
“But in addition to retrieval of visual and somatic records, the difficulty of the particular task we used may make it necessary for subjects to construct an on-line somatosensory representation by internal simulation (Goldman, 1992;Rizzolatti et al., 1996;Gallese and Goldman, 1999).”

“According to simulation theory individuals use self-reflection to understand the mental states of others (Goldman, 1992).”

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.
