Taking action in hand: Effects of gesture observation on action
... Results indicate that, when representing actions, some pantomime gestures clearly map onto a unique action concept, while others are more ambiguous. Pantomime gestures representing actions involving instruments (e.g. hammer) are particularly ambiguous. This ambiguity was, however, attenuated when pa ...
