Uncertainty and Imitation: The Interactive Effects of Age and Task Options.

Thelen, Mark H.; And Others

Journal of Research in Personality, v12 n3 p370-80 Sep 1978

It was reasoned that younger children would be more susceptible to situational uncertainty, and thereby imitate more than older children or peers tested under more structured conditions. Children 6 through 8 and 12 through 14 years old were tested for target-relevant and incidental imitation under conditions of high and low structure. (Editor/RK)
