“…As well as facilitating socio-cognitive functioning during interactions between people (Cook, Blakemore, & Press, 2013;Press, Cook, Blakemore, & Kilner, 2011), biological tuning is important for the acquisition of novel motor actions during observational practice . We have confirmed biological tuning across a series of behavioural studies where participants observe a series of model stimuli that depict typical or atypical human biological kinematics (Hayes, Dutoy, Elliott, Gowen, & Bennett, 2016;Hayes, Roberts, Elliott, & Bennett, 2014;Hayes, Timmis, & Bennett, 2009;Roberts, Bennett, Elliott, & Hayes, 2015). Typical kinematics had a movement profile where peak velocity occurred at approximately 50% of the trajectory, which is consistent with goal-directed upper-limb aiming movements (Elliott et al, 2010).…”
