Predicting others’ intention involves motor resonance: EMG evidence from 6- and 9-month-old infants

Predicting others’ intention involves motor resonance: EMG evidence from 6- and 9-month-old infants

The study explores infants’ ability to generate on-line predictions about others’ action goals through the recruitment of motor resonance mechanisms. To this aim, electromyography was recorded from mouth-opening suprahyoid muscles (SM) of 9-month-old infants while watching a video of an adult agent...
