Effect of Nurturance on Imitative Behavior
Psychological Reports, 1971A partial replication of Mussen and Parker (1965) tested the hypothesis that a model's nurturance enhances the imitation of task-relevant behavior but not of task-irrelevant behavior. S either interacted for 15 min. with a friendly model or played for 15 min. by herself.

Coactor's behavior and imitative aggression
Motivation and Emotion, 1979After being exposed to either an aggressive or a nonaggressive filmed model, four- and five-year-old boys were tested for imitation while either alone or with a confederate who had also seen the film. The confederate's behavior was either inactive, the same as that in the film, the same as that in the film the child had not seen, novel but of the same ...

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1960
It is shown that the linear equations of the formal theory of mass behavior proposed by the author in 1939 are first-order approximations of the biophysical theory proposed later. The second approximation contains cubic terms. It permits the expression of the time course of the change of behavior in terms of a quadrature.

The Pavlovian Journal of Biological Science, 1988
This article reviews the results of experimental studies on imitative behavior reported by various investigators, and then discusses the possible brain mechanisms responsible for this behavior. It was found that human infants in their first hours of life were already capable of spontaneous imitation of simple motor acts demonstrated by an adult ...

In a preceding paper (Bull. Math. Biophysics,27, 175–185) the distribution function ofφ=ɛ 1-ɛ 2,—the difference of excitations in the two mutually inhibiting centers, has been derived in terms of the distribution functionsf 1(ɛ 1) andf 2(ɛ 2) of the two ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Imitation: A Mechanism of Play Behavior
The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1980Abstract Imitation, 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 the framework of play behavior, and to ...
