Peer reviewedDiSimoni, Frank G. – Child Development, 1975

Peer reviewedMeltzoff, Andrew N. – Child Development, 1988
Investigates ability of nine-month-old infants to imitate simple actions with novel objects. Looks at both immediate and deferred imitation. Findings show that imitation in early infancy can span wide enough delays to be of potential service in social development. (Author/RWB)
