Dependency, Imitation Learning, and the Process of Identification

Goggin, James E.

Journal of Genetic Psychology, 125, 2, 207-218, Dec 74

Attempted to clarify the relationship between dependency and imitation using 73 preschool children as subjects. The children's degree of emotional dependency was found to be related to their propensity to imitate the model's irrelevant behavior (i.e. incidential learning). (Author/SDH)
