Fourteen-month-olds selectively imitated a sub-efficient means (illuminating a lightbox by a head-touch) when this was modeled by linguistic ingroup members in video-demonstrations. A follow-up study with slightly older infants, however, could replicate this effect only in a video-demonstration context. Hence it still remains unclear whether…

Carlson, Marie D.; Mendle, Jane; Harden, K. Paige – Developmental Psychology, 2014

Presently, there is evidence both for and against such an advantage. Interestingly,…
