Imitation: A Mechanism of Play Behavior
American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1980Imitation, as a critical mechanism of play behavior, is a primary learning process in child development that has received scant attention in therapists’ work with children. The purpose of this study is to conceptualize a system of imitation for occupational therapy within ...

Effects of Imitation and Nonimitation on Children's Subsequent Imitative Behavior
The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1977Summary The purpose of this study was to determine the differential effects of imitating versus not imitating children on their subsequent tendency to imitate a model. Fifty-four kindergarten children matched on age and sex performed a simple three-choice task of feeding a “Cookie Monster.” There were four experimental conditions in which an adult ...

Absolutely expedient imitative behavior
International Journal of Game Theory, 2003The author analyzes a model of learning by imitation, where besides the decision maker, there is a population of individuals facing the same decision problem. He gives a simple characterization of the expediency property and shows that its basic feature is proportional imitation; the change in the probability attached to the played action is ...

A Computational Model of Imitation and Autonomous Behavior
2012 13th ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing, 2012Learning is essential for an autonomous agent to adapt to an environment. One method that can be used is learning through trial and error. However, it is impractical because of the long learning time required when the agent learns in a complex environment.

Learning responsive robot behavior by imitation
2013 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2013In this paper we present a new approach for learning responsive robot behavior by imitation of human interaction partners. Extending previous work on robot imitation learning, that has so far mostly concentrated on learning from demonstrations by a single actor, we simultaneously record the movements of two humans engaged in on-going interaction tasks ...

Learning Realistic and Safe Pedestrian Behavior by Imitation [PDF]
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2021 Navigating amongst pedestrians is a very complex task for an autonomous agent. Not only must the agent understand traffic rules and navigate safely, but it must also act in a way that obeys social norms and does not interfere with other pedestrians.

Economic Inquiry, 1994
Political behavior generates private benefits by helping people fit in with desired friends. A voter imitates other voters, but at the same time they imitate him. An equilibrium solution requires exogenous variables: the narrow self‐interest of the participants.

On the Evolution of Imitative Behavior [PDF]
, 1996 We analyze the evolution of behavioral rules for learning how to play a two-armed bandit. Individuals have no information about the underlying pay-off distributions and have limited memory about their own past experience. Instead they must rely on information obtained trough observing the performance of other individuals.

An Investigation of Differential Reinforced Imitation Training on Imitative Behavior
The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1974Abstract The function of reinforcement as a performance versus a learning variable was examined with the use of a number of varying imitation training conditions. Forty white and 40 black Ss were used. The analysis consisted of five 2 (Testing Situation) × 2 (White versus Black children) × 8 (Training Conditions) factorials with the use of an analysis ...
