Cook et al. argue that mirror neurons originate in sensorimotor associative learning and that their function is determined by their origin. Both these claims are hard to accept. It is here suggested that a major role in the origin of the mirror mechanism is played by top-down connections rather than by associative learning.
库克等人认为，镜像神经元起源于感觉运动联想学习，其功能取决于其起源。这两个说法都很难接受。这里提出的观点是，在镜像机制的起源中，自上而下的连接而不是联想学习起着主要作用。
