When performing complex actions, like graphic copying or imitation of gestures, some patients may perform these actions very close to, or directly on the top of the model. This peculiar behavior, known as closing-in, is the focus of the present literature review, which will provide a critical picture of the research in this field, highlighting the difficulties in defining and assessing closing-in and the contrasting results about the nature and the characteristics of this phenomenon. Most importantly, we will discuss the 2 hypotheses proposed to explain closing-in, namely the compensation and the attraction account, in light of the most recent work. This critical review will provide substantial evidence that closing-in represent a primitive default tendency in which movements are attracted toward the focus of attention. On the other hand, the possibility that this interpretation might not be fully exhaustive and that different components of closing-in might exist will also be discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
在执行复杂动作时，如图形复制或手势模仿，一些患者可能会非常靠近模型或直接在模型之上执行这些动作。这种被称为“逼近”的特殊行为是本综述的重点，该综述将对该领域的研究进行批判性描述，突出定义和评估“逼近”的困难以及关于这一现象的性质和特征的相互矛盾的结果。最重要的是，我们将根据最新研究讨论为解释“逼近”而提出的两个假设，即补偿假设和吸引假设。这一批判性综述将提供大量证据表明，“逼近”代表了一种原始的默认倾向，即动作被吸引到注意力焦点上。另一方面，也将讨论这种解释可能并不完全详尽以及可能存在“逼近”的不同组成部分的可能性。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
