The recognition of action is considered to be a fundamental prerequisite for the development of imitation, motor learning and social gesture. In humans the discovery of mirror neurons, which respond to both the observation and execution of an action, have been found suggesting a common coding between perception and action. There are, however, a number of questions not accounted for by the current mirror neuron system interpretation. For example, since the mirror neurons provide a motor representation of action, would these neurons be activated if the action represented implied biological motion, or if the action represented "impossible biological motion?" Furthermore, how do the mirror neurons respond to actions that have a strong emotional/social component, i.e. how is an action representing a person running away in fear, compare with a person simply jogging?

动作识别被认为是模仿、动作学习和社会姿态发展的基本先决条件。 在人类中，发现了镜像神经元，它们对观察和执行动作都有反应，这表明感知和动作之间存在共同的编码。然而，目前的镜像神经元系统解释还没有考虑到一些问题。 例如，既然镜像神经元提供了动作的运动表征，那么如果动作代表隐含的生物运动，或者如果动作代表“不可能的生物运动”，这些神经元会被激活吗？" 此外，镜像神经元如何对具有强烈情感/社会成分的动作做出反应，即，与一个人简单地慢跑相比，一个人在恐惧中逃跑的动作是如何表现的？
