An unsettled debate: Key empirical and theoretical questions are still open

Stefano Vincini et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

Debates about neonatal imitation remain more open than Keven & Akins (K&A) imply. K&A do not recognize the primacy of the question concerning differential imitation and the links between experimental designs and more or less plausible theoretical assumptions. Moreover, they do not acknowledge previous theorizing on spontaneous behavior, the explanatory power of entrainment, and subtle connections with social cognition.
