2023 Infants’ imitative learning from third-party observations: The role of the second adult Interaction Studies 24:3, pp. 464–483 | Article
In two separate experiments, we examined 17-month-olds’ imitation in a third-party context. The aim was to explore how seeing another person responding to a model’s novel action influenced infant imitation. The infants watched while a reliable model demonstrated a novel action with a familiar… read more
2021 Do 12-month-old infants maintain expectations of contingent or non-contingent responding based on prior experiences with unfamiliar and familiar adults? Interaction Studies 22:1, pp. 1–23 | Article
The current study examined whether infants use previous encounters for maintaining expectations for adults’ contingent responding. An unfamiliar adult responded contingently or non-contingently to infant signaling during an initial play situation and 10 min later presented an ambiguous toy while… read more
2020 Infant imitation in a third-party context Interaction Studies 21:3, pp. 387–411 | Article
The present study examined 17-month-olds’ imitation in a third-party context. In four experiments, the infants watched while a reliable or an unreliable model demonstrated a novel action with an unfamiliar (Experiments 1 and 3) or a familiar (Experiments 2 and 4) object to another adult. In… read more
2019 The situational context and the reliability of an adult model influence infants’ imitation Interaction Studies 20:2, pp. 375–390 | Squib
Four studies examined 15- to 16-month-olds’ imitation of a model’s novel action with a familiar or an unfamiliar object. The infants observed a reliable or an unreliable model demonstrating a novel action with the object in a solitary observational (Study 1, 44 infants; Study 3, 40 infants) or in… read more
