Posits of the theory of event coding (TEC; Hommel et al., 2001).

1. Shared representations	Representations for perceiving and action planning are functionally equivalent; both are correspondences between brain states and anticipated interactions of the actor/observer with external events.
2. Distal coding	Events are coded in terms of distal features such as objects and their movements, rather than in terms of proximal features such as the feel of touching an object or a sequence of limb movements planned to move it.
3. Feature codes	Stimuli and objects are both represented as temporary composites of feature codes.
4. Activation and integration	The formation of an event code is composed of two phases: activation and integration.
5. Intentionality	The combination of feature codes is weighted by current goals and intentions.
