RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Hauf, Petra A1 Prinz, Wolfgang YR 2005 T1 The understanding of own and others’ actions during infancy: “You-like-Me” or “Me-like-You”? JF Interaction Studies VO 6 IS 3 SP 429 OP 445 DO https://doi.org/10.1075/is.6.3.08hau PB John Benjamins SN 1572-0373, AB Developmental psychologists assume that infants understand other persons’ actions after and because they understand their own (“Like-me” perspective). However, there is another possibility as well, namely that infants come to understand their own actions after and because they understand other persons’ actions (“Like-you” perspective). We reviewed infant research on the influence of perceived actions on self-performed actions as well as the reverse. Furthermore, we investigated the interplay between both aspects of action understanding by means of a sequence variation. The results show the impact of agentive experience for action understanding, but not the reverse. The question whether infants’ perceived and to-be-produced actions share common representations of the perceptual and the motor system is discussed in relation to its implications for the social making of minds., UL https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/is.6.3.08hau
