The target article offers a negative, eliminativist thesis, dissolving the specialness of mirroring processes into a solution of associative mechanisms. We support the authors' project enthusiastically. What they are currently missing, we argue, is a positive, generative thesis about associative learning mechanisms and how they might give way to the complex, multimodal coordination that naturally arises in social interaction.
本文提出了一个否定的、消除论的论点,将镜像过程的特殊性消解于联想机制的解决方案中。我们热情地支持作者的项目。我们认为,他们目前所缺少的是一个关于联想学习机制的积极的、生成性的论点,以及它们如何让位于自然产生于社会互动中的复杂的、多模态的协调。
