Ward and Banissy's illuminating discussion of mirror-touch synesthesia (MTS) encourages research testing two alternatives to Threshold Theory: Their own Self-Other Theory, and "Task Control Theory". MTS may be due to abnormal mirror activity plus a domain-general, rather than a specifically social, impairment in the ability to privilege processing of task-relevant over task-irrelevant information.
沃德和巴尼西对镜像触觉联觉(MTS)的精彩讨论鼓励开展研究,以检验阈限理论的两种替代理论:他们自己的自我-他人理论和“任务控制理论”。MTS可能是由于镜像活动异常,以及在优先处理与任务相关而非与任务无关信息的能力方面存在一种通用领域(而非特定社交领域)的损伤。
