Like Cook et al., we suggest that mirror neurons are a fascinating product of cross-modal learning. As predicted by an associative account, responses in motor regions are observed for novel and/or abstract visual stimuli such as point-light and android movements. Domain-specific mirror responses also emerge as a function of audiomotor expertise that is slowly acquired over years of intensive training.
与 Cook 等人一样,我们认为镜像神经元是跨模态学习的迷人产物。正如联想理论所预测的那样,运动区域会对新奇的和/或抽象的视觉刺激做出反应,例如光点和仿人运动。特定于领域的镜像反应也随着多年密集训练逐渐获得的听觉运动专业知识而出现。
