Peer reviewedAnisfeld, Moshe – Developmental Review, 1996

Finds that the claims of early imitative abilities are not well founded: because the matching behavior found is restricted to a single gesture--tongue protrusion--it is best explained as a specific, directly elicited response, rather than imitation.
