Imitation and utilisation behaviour
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence, anatomical correlates, and clinical features of imitation and utilisation behaviour, which are thought by Lhermitte and coworkers to represent a reliable and frequent index of frontal lobe disease. METHODS: 78 patients with hemispheric local lesions were tested in two separate sessions, in which their reactions to a series of gestures performed by the examiner and to the presentation of a set of objects were recorded. The patients were stratified into a frontal (n = 52) and a non-frontal group (n = 26) on the basis of their CT data. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Imitation behaviour was present in 39% of the frontal patients and was mainly associated with medial and lateral lesions, at odds with the claim of Lhermitte et al that it is a constant accompaniment of lower, mediobasal lesions. In the non-frontal group it was found in three patients, all with damage to the deep nuclei region. Utilisation behaviour was a much rarer phenomenon, present in only two patients, both of whom had frontal damage. Neither imitation behaviour nor utilisation behaviour were found in patients with retrorolandic cortical lesions.

Patients with brain damage who imitate uncontrollably imply that an active inhibitory mechanism normally controls automatic imitation.
“and the existence of patients who imitate uncontrollably after brain damage (Lhermitte et al., 1986; De Renzi et al., 1996) suggests that some active inhibitory mechanism is required to control automatic imitation.”

Imitative tendencies must be inhibited to prevent overt imitation.
“More specifically, imitative tendencies have to be inhibited to prevent overt imitation (Brass, Derrfuss, Cramon, Matthes-von Cramon, & von Cramon, 2003;De Renzi, Cavalleri, & Facchini, 1996;Lhermitte, Pillon, & Serdaru, 1986).”

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.
