Immediate and Deferred Imitation in Fourteen- and Twenty-Four-Month-Old Infants.
Meltzoff, Andrew N.
Child Development, v56 n1 p62-72 Feb 1985
A laboratory procedure was developed for assessing imitation in the second year of life. Results demonstrate that 14- and 24-month-olds can imitate a simple action with an unfamiliar object, both immediately and after a 24-hour delay. Implications for research design and theory of infant memory are discussed. (RH)
