چکیده انگلیسی

This study aimed to systematically investigate 18-month-old infants’ imitation of object-related actions compared to motorically similar gestures. An additional goal of the study was to examine the role of action effects on infants’ imitation of target actions. One group of infants (n = 17) observed object-related actions and gestures leading to salient effects (sounds or visual resp. social effects), and the other group (n = 16) watched the same actions without effects. Furthermore, this study examined whether infants show a consistent imitation ability for object-related actions and gestures. First, the present study showed that 18-month-old infants imitated object-related actions more frequently than gestures. Second, the presence of an effect significantly increased the imitation rate of object-related actions; however, this difference was not found for gestures. Third, indications for a general imitation ability were found as results on an individual level showed that object-related action imitation significantly correlated with gesture imitation. Implications of the results for theory and future studies are discussed with a focus on the role of objects and effects in 18-month-old infants’ action imitation.
