| Abstract(in English) | Aristotle considered that imitation itself is the most basic function of humans. Also, social psychologists pointed out that imitative learning is important in social relations such as parent-child relationships. Moreover, Bandura regarded the observational learning as a basic process for explaining social phenomena. Furthremore, human beings have the ability to mentally simulate various episodes, by means of which appropriate behavior can be chosen in normal social life. Moreover, such mental simulations are thought to be one of the functions underlying high-level creativity. In this paper, we first introduced our clinical examination of this ability on the view of Body Part as Object phenomenon; comparing the understandability, productivity and delectability of the phenomenon between left parietal injured patients and controls. Next, we showed several results of the experiments on action imitation and prediction learning of a sequence of actions using functional MRI. Finally, the brain mechanisms of imitation and pantomime are considered. |
