Answer to Question 1

Answer: Shared motor representations are representations of actions made by other people. They are important because they allow us to learn from observing other people.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Area M1 controls fine motor movements. The premotor area (PM) is involved in setting up programs for specific sequences of actions. The supplementary motor area (SMA) is involved in setting up and executing action plans.
