发展和神经生理学研究都表明，感知和生成的行为之间存在共同的编码。这种共享的表征网络是人类天生的。我们回顾了有关人类新生儿模仿行为的心理学证据。我们认为，婴儿模仿的机制为理解他人“像我一样”提供了基础，也是心理理论和对他人移情发展的基础。我们还分析了功能性神经影像学研究，探讨成人模仿的神经生理学基础。我们收集的证据表明，模仿不仅招募了自我和他人之间共享的神经表征，还招募了顶叶皮层中的皮层区域，这些区域对于区分自我和他人的观点至关重要。模仿具有双重启示：婴儿用它来了解成人，科学家用它来了解大脑的组织和功能。
Both developmental and neurophysiological research suggest a common coding between perceived and generated actions. This shared representational network is innately wired in humans. We review psychological evidence concerning the imitative behaviour of newborn human infants. We suggest that the mechanisms involved in infant imitation provide the foundation for understanding that others are 'like me' and underlie the development of theory of mind and empathy for others. We also analyse functional neuroimaging studies that explore the neurophysiological substrate of imitation in adults. We marshal evidence that imitation recruits not only shared neural representations between the self and the other but also cortical regions in the parietal cortex that are crucial for distinguishing between the perspective of self and other. Imitation is doubly revealing: it is used by infants to learn about adults, and by scientists to understand the organization and functioning of the brain.
