Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions (2013)
Journal Article
Sacheli, L. M., Tidoni, E., Pavone, E. F., Aglioti, S. M., & Candidi, M. (2013). Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions. Experimental Brain Research, 226(4), 473-486. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-013-3459-7

Performing online complementary motor adjustments is quintessential to joint actions since it allows interacting people to coordinate efficiently and achieve a common goal. We sought to determine whether, during dyadic interactions, signaling strateg... Read More about Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions.

Bootstrapping the early lexicon: how do children use old knowledge to create new meanings? (2013)

Quine provided a now famous example of what makes word learn... Read More about Bootstrapping the early lexicon: how do children use old knowledge to create new meanings?.

In most experimental work on animal cognition, researchers attempt to control for multiple interacting variables by training subjects prior to testing, allowing subjects to participate voluntarily, and providing subjects with food rewards. However, d... Read More about Taking personality selection bias seriously in animal cognition research: A case study in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella).
