Funded Activity Summary

Imitation learning in infancy. We copy others all the time, to learn new skills and to connect socially and emotionally with those around us. But where does this ability to imitate come from? This is a long-standing question in developmental psychology that the proposed project aims to answer. Using a unique combination of EMG and behavioural observations, this project will chart infants’ imitation skills from birth through the first year of life, and test whether infants learn to imitate from watching themselves and being imitated by others. The new knowledge arising from this research will clarify the origins of our uniquely human sociality. The outcomes should also enable earlier identification of developmental problems and provide novel avenues for intervention.
