The effect of social and causal information on children's imitation

Hallinan, Elizabeth Verity 14 August 2008 (has links)
Current theories regarding imitation tend to emphasize either its role as a mechanism for learning about objects without resorting to trial and error, or its role as a means by which we understand the mental states of others. Few studies have attempted to reconcile these two approaches by systematically investigating what information children learn from imitating others. In this thesis, I examined the relative influence of both physical and social information on children’s imitation in an attempt to bridge these two approaches. In Study 1, children used their causal knowledge to ignore a physically irrelevant action done by an adult demonstrator. In Studies 2 and 3, children imitated the irrelevant action more often when information was provided that multiple individuals performed that action and when a single individual performed that action consistently. These findings suggest the possibility that shared practices play an influential role in imitation, above and beyond learning about the physical functioning of an object. / Thesis (Master, Psychology) -- Queen's University, 2008-08-12 17:31:46.892

Imitation brand

Xu, Puwei, Liu, Shuyi January 2009 (has links)
<p>China is regarded as a leading exporter of imitated goods to the world. In recent years, the product of imitation brand begins to emerge and become popular in the domestic market. However, what factors influence consumers’ buying behavior to the products of imitation brand? In this study, we explore eight factors that would influence a consumer’s decision towards the imitated product. The factors are appearance, price, brand similarity, innovation, function, advertisement, supporting native brand and exaggerate image. Meanwhile, statistical software, SPSS, has been adopted to test the correlation and frequencies among the eight factors and other sub-factors such as gender, age and income.</p>

Imitation versus understanding in social learning.

Mills, Allan William. January 1951 (has links)
The belief that man has a tendency to mimic the things that he sees his fellows do, and that he can acquire new modes of behavior by this means, was among the first topics to occupy the attention of the social psychologist. [...]

An Exploration of Deferred Imitation in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Morgan, Jennifer 26 August 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore imitation in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by (a) examining the ability of children with ASD to engage in deferred imitation, as compared to typically developing (TD) children; (b) determining the impact of differing time delays on the ability of children with ASD and TD children to imitate simple actions on objects; and (c) examining the role of a verbal prompt on the ability of children with ASD to engage in deferred imitation, as compared to TD controls. Additionally, the role of language in deferred imitation was explored. Participants included 15 children with ASD and 15 TD children. Participants observed object oriented actions and were given the opportunity to imitate spontaneously. Those participants who did not imitate spontaneously were given a verbal prompt and a further opportunity to imitate. Participants with ASD demonstrated fewer spontaneous and total (i.e. spontaneous and prompted) imitations and took more time to do so at a short and a longer time delay, as compared to TD participants. Participants with ASD were given more verbal prompts than TD participants at a short and a longer time delay. Language was related to deferred imitation at a short time delay for participants with ASD but not for TD participants and language was not related to deferred imitation at a longer time delay for either group. / Graduate / 0525 / 0529
