Answer:
The correct answer is: Mirror Neurons.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Mirror neurons can be defined as those neurons which help a person, say A, learn specific techniques or actions from another person, say B, by observing the techniques or actions of the other person.
- The observation and analysis is done by the observer person A in such a way that he is able to imitate or repeat the action shown by person B completely with minimal difference.
- In the given question, Jonah is learning to play basket ball from his brother Matthew. He is observing the actions of his brother which includes, movement of hands, body and legs and their co-ordination, such that he is able to re-present similar movements of his body, hands and legs when he is given to play.
- These neurons are found in many regions of the brain like the primary somato-sensory cortex and the premotor cortex.
