This study demonstrated selective "rational" imitation in infants in two testing conditions: in the presence or absence of the model during the response phase. In the study, 14-month-olds were more likely to imitate a tool-use behavior when a prior failed attempt emphasized the logical reason and relevance of introducing this novel means, making…

Hopper, Lydia M.; Flynn, Emma G.; Wood, Lara A. N.; Whiten, Andrew – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
In the first of two experiments, we demonstrate the spread of a novel form of tool use across 20 "cultural generations" of child-to-child transmission. An experimentally seeded technique spread with 100% fidelity along twice as many "generations" as has been investigated in recent exploratory "diffusion" experiments of this type. This contrasted…

Investigates how the experimentally manipulated sincerity of models affects their influence, by using a delay-of-reward paradigm. Subjects were 40 fifth and sixth grade children. (MP)

Peer reviewedMorgulas, Susan; Zimmerman, Barry J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1979
Tests the hypothesis that there is a relationship between children's comprehension of a syntactic form and the effectiveness of modeling in promoting imitation of that form. Subjects were 71 four- and five-year-old children. (Author/MP)
