最近，神经科学对研究支持行为观察和理解的功能和神经机制表现出极大的兴趣。最近的研究表明，我们的运动技能至关重要地影响我们感知他人产生的动作的方式，通过显示出更强的运动共振来观察在一个人的运动技能库中建立的动作。在本研究中，我们将先前基于成人专家运动技能的研究结果扩展到婴儿动作的自然发展。为探讨自然运动体验对动作观察过程中运动共振的影响，对14 ~ 16个月大的婴儿在观察动作录像过程中的脑电图进行了记录。与行走视频相比，观察爬行的效果更强，效果的大小与婴儿自己的爬行经验密切相关。这表明，在生命的早期，一个人自己的行动经验与他人的行动如何被感知密切相关。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Lately, neuroscience is showing a great interest in examining the functional and neural mechanisms which support action observation and understanding. Recent studies have suggested that our motor skills crucially affect the way in which we perceive the actions generated by others, by showing stronger motor resonance for observation of actions that are established in one's motor repertoire. In the present study we extend previous findings that were based on expert motor skills in adults to the natural development of actions in infants. To investigate the effect of natural motor experience on motor resonance during action observation, 14- to 16-month-old infants' EEG was recorded during observation of action videos. Stronger mu- and betadesynchronizations were found for observation of crawling compared to walking videos and the size of the effect was strongly related to the infant's own crawling experience. This suggests that already early in life one's own action experience is closely related to how actions of others are perceived. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
