Memory for the final position or configuration of a moving object is distorted forward along its actual or implied path of motion (representational momentum). This may allow humans to anticipate the forthcoming position of moving objects or creatures. By using single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we tested whether mirror motor facilitation is higher during extrapolation of dynamic information about forward than backward action paths.

Abstract
Memory for the final position or configuration of a moving object is distorted forward along its actual or implied path of motion (representational momentum). This may allow humans to anticipate the forthcoming position of moving objects or creatures. By using single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we tested whether mirror motor facilitation is higher during extrapolation of dynamic information about forward than backward action paths.File in questo prodotto:
