Internal action representations can emerge without motor execution

Abstract excerpt

<p>Humans routinely reason about actions they have never performed, yet it remains unclear whether the internal representations supporting such simulations require prior motor execution. Here, we test whether recent execution experience is necessary for constructing functional action representations in a mental paper folding task. A total of 196 participants completed an experience phase involving either imagery,...
