In particular, the activity of the mirror system, first discovered in the brain of non-human primates, provides an observer with the understanding of a perceived action by means of the motor simulation of the agent's observed movements. This discovery has raised the prospects of a motor theory of social cognition. In humans, social cognition includes the ability to mindread, and many motor theorists of social cognition try to bridge the gap between motor cognition and mindreading by endorsing a simulation account of mindreading. Here, we question the motor theory of social cognition and give reasons for our skepticism.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":6.131226489483141,"endowment":6.131226489483141,"datacite_reuse_total":2,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"15639437","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2159025961","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":24.7692,"citation_percentile":0.99701344,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":32},{"year":2013,"count":31},{"year":2014,"count":22},{"year":2015,"count":31},{"year":2016,"count":19},{"year":2017,"count":21},{"year":2018,"count":17},{"year":2019,"count":8},{"year":2020,"count":13},{"year":2021,"count":12},{"year":2022,"count":22},{"year":2023,"count":14},{"year":2024,"count":12},{"year":2025,"count":7},{"year":2026,"count":13}],"oa_status":"bronze","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"http://www.cell.com/article/S1364661304002906/pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"http://www.cell.com/article/S1364661304002906/pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1364661304002906?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1364661304002906?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2004.11.003","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15639437","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.294.8716","host_type":""},{"url":"http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.395.1075","host_type":""},{"url":"http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.583.8573","host_type":""},{"url":"https://hal.science/hal-00655442","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://hal.science/ijn_00000573","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://hal.science/ijn_00352455","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Action Observation and Synchronization","Embodied and Extended Cognition","Psychosomatic Disorders and Their Treatments","Animals","Cognition","Humans","Mental Processes","Models, Neurological","Neurosciences","Psychomotor Performance","Social Behavior","Social Perception"],"mesh_terms":["Animals","Cognition","Humans","Mental Processes","Models, Neurological","Neurosciences","Psychomotor Performance","Social Behavior","Social Perception"],"keywords":["Motor cognition","Social cognition","Psychology","Cognition","Theory of mind","Action (physics)","Cognitive science","Skepticism","Mirror neuron","Cognitive psychology","Social neuroscience","Bridge (graph theory)","Neuroscience"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Reduced inequalities"}],"linked_datasets":[{"doi":"10.6084/m9.figshare.26708837.v1","title":"Additional file 1 of Who am I with my Lewy bodies?
