Abstract
The mirror mechanism is a basic neural mechanism that transforms sensory representations of others' behaviors into one's own motor or visuomotor representations concerning that behavior. Because we know the outcome of our own motor representations, we have, through the mirror mechanism, a direct knowledge of what the others are doing and feeling. The role of the mirror mechanism in language and the possible role that its impairment plays in autism are also discussed.
