Abstract
⺠We address the question if imitation problems are caused by selection or correspondence problems. ⺠We review 7 possible hypotheses on the nature of imitation problems in autism. ⺠We describe the poor preferential attention to biological motion, poor ascription of intention to actions, poor transformation of perspectives and poor mapping of visual to motor information. ⺠We recommend that tasks should be constrained to target as few mechanisms as possible in given experiments.
