“…This perhaps-strange point rests as straightforwardly on neural evidence that cortical areas active during speech production share overlap with cortical areas active during passive listening (Wilson, Saygin, Sereno, & Iacoboni, 2004) as on lesser known evidence that hierarchically organized connective tissue supporting movement binds auditory and articulatory neurons together to do what neurons alone cannot, providing pre-stressed platforms on which neurons can function as needed (Ingber, 2006;Kelso, Tuller, Vatikiotis-Bateson, & Fowler, 1984). Memory may depend on this bodywide connective tissue assuming a similar hierarchical organization during test as during study (Teng, Eddy, & Kelty-Stephen, 2016), and future work might pursue a comparable analysis of hierarchical structure in gestures during and after our Taboo game.…”
