Generalized Reciprocal Imitation in Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smeets, Paul M.; Kauffman, James M. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 1980
Two experiments were conducted to assess whether induced reciprocal imitation would generalize to an observer other than the one who imitated the child and to a task different from the one on which the child had been imitated. Subjects were 19 kindergartners and 23 first graders selected from a private elementary school in Holland. (MP)
