Abstract

Speech is commonly claimed to relate to mirror neurons because of the alluring surface analogy of mirror neurons to the Motor Theory of speech perception, which posits that perception and production draw upon common motor-articulatory representations. We argue that the analogy fails and highlight examples of systems-level developmental approaches that have been more fruitful in revealing perception-production associations.

摘要

语音通常被认为与镜像神经元有关，因为镜像神经元与言语感知的运动理论存在诱人的表面相似性，该理论假设感知和产生依赖于共同的运动发音表征。我们认为这种类比是失败的，并强调了一些系统水平的发展方法的例子，这些方法在揭示感知-产生关联方面更有成效。
