Contagious behaviors such as yawning and itching/scratching have mirror-like properties and clearly defined stimulus and motor parameters; they are also relatively easy to study and should be part of the debate about mirror neurons and the neurological mechanisms of social behavior. The broadly tuned, multimodal stimuli of contagious behavior challenge present accounts of mirror mechanisms that focus on specific, mirrored acts.
传染性行为，如打哈欠和瘙痒/搔抓，具有镜像般的特性和明确的刺激和运动参数；它们也相对容易研究，应该成为关于镜像神经元和社会行为神经机制的辩论的一部分。具有广泛调谐、多模态刺激的传染性行为挑战了目前专注于特定镜像行为的镜像机制的解释。
