This is because their mirror neurons are firing and it helps them to imitate what they are seeing. Humans learn through watching and observing other humans. Mirror neurons are important for understanding the actions and intentions of other people, and for learning new skills by imitation. They are involved in planning and controlling actions, abstract thinking, and memory.

It’s because of mirror neurons that “you can adopt another person’s point of view,” according to Dr. V.S. Ramachandran of the University of California at San Diego. He notes that humans are intensely social. We invent dances, games, groups… we eat together, we work together, and we talk. Language and culture come from imitation.

The old myth ‘yawning is contagious’ comes from your mirror neurons firing without you realizing it. When someone smiles at you, it is hard to resist smiling back. Mirror neuron dysfunction is linked to children with delays in emotional & social skills, language skills, cognitive skills, and gross motor skills.

The researchers argue that mirror neurons may be important for understanding the actions of other people, and for learning new skills by imitation.

Some researchers speculate that mirror systems may simulate observed actions, and thus contribute to theory of mind skills,while others relate mirror neurons to language abilities.Some have argued that mirror neuron systems in the human brain help us understand the actions and intentions of other people.

What’s new about it today is Gandhi’s Neurons: The Practice of Empathy by Bruna Martinuzzi on the American Express OPEN Forum. She links to this fascinating video by Nova Science (PBS), which examines something called mirror neurons, also dubbed Gandhi’s neurons. The mirror neurons fire as we feel for others, or with others. Narrator Robert Krulwich introduces this as new science: We humans are really good at reading faces and bodies.

Thanks for the A2A. Mirror neurons are the ones that fire both when you do something (like rolling your eyes) and observe another person doing it. Thus, these neurons either trigger imitation or are triggered by it. All learning is through imitation. A person adopts the stance of another person doing something, and tries the same thing.
