This volume explores the key developmental transitions that take place as 1- to 3-year-olds leave infancy behind and begin to develop the social and emotional knowledge, skills, and regulatory abilities of early childhood. Leading investigators examine the multiple interacting factors that lead to socioemotional competence in this pivotal period, covering both typical and atypical development. Presented is innovative research that has yielded compelling insights into toddlers' relationships, emotions, play, communication, prosocial behavior, self-control, autonomy, and attempts to understand themselves and others. The final chapter presents a systematic framework for socioemotional assessment.

A study of the literature on imitation and modeling was conducted to aid in development of a modeling training technique to accelerate the acquisition of cross-cultural interaction skills. The modeling procedure is designed to provide exemplary behavior to the trainee via videotape recording. The literature review includes a summary of theoretical positions that have been formulated, a survey of research in terms of the variables that have been investigated, and a review of modeling techniques that have found application. A discussion devoted to implications for developing a cross-cultural training technique is also presented. The advantages and disadvantages of various procedures for constructing an effective modeling technique are examined. The literature reviewed indicated that a modeling training technique has to date not been used to aid in the acquisition of cross-cultural interaction skills. The report concludes with the recommendation that the effectiveness of such a training technique be evaluated.

In this book we take a fresh look at imitation. With the knowledge of some 20 years of research after Chomsky's initial critique of the behavioristic approach to language learning, it is time to explore imitation once again. How imitation is viewed in this book has changed greatly since the 1950s and can only be under stood by reading the various contributions. This reading reveals many faces, many forms, many causes, and many functions of imitation-cognitive, social, information processing, learning, and biological. Some views are far removed from the notion that an imitation must occur immediately or that it must be a per fect copy of an adult sentence. But the essence of the concept of imitation is retained: Some of the child's language behavior originates as an imitation of a prior model. The range of phenomena covered is broad and stimulating. Imitation's role is discussed from infancy on through all stages of language learning. Individual differences among children are examined in how much they use imitation, and in what forms and to what purposes they use it. The forms and functions of parent imitation of their child are considered. Second-language learning is studied alongside first-language learning. The juxtaposition of so many views and facets of imitation in this book will help us to study the commonalities as well as differences of various forms and functions of imitative language and will help us to discern the further dimensions along which we must begin to differentiate imitation.

First published in 1999, this book brings together the extensive modern evidence for innate imitation in babies. Modern research has shown imitation to be a natural mechanism of learning and communication which deserves to be at centre stage in developmental psychology. Yet the very possibility of imitation in newborn humans has had a controversial history. Defining imitation has proved to be far from straightforward and scientific evidence for its existence in neonates is only now becoming accepted, despite more than a century of enquiry. In this book, some of the world's foremost researchers on imitation and intellectual development review evidence for imitation in newborn babies. They discuss the development of imitation in infancy, in both normal and atypical populations and in comparison with other primate species, stressing the fundamental importance of imitation in human development, as a foundation of communication and a precursor to symbolic processes.

This paper explores how young, pre-verbal children are able to learn which actions belong to which objects. It is clear that children learn these action-object pairs at an amazing rate during the first few years of life, just as they learn word-object pairs. Although researchers have looked at similar questions for language acquisition, very little work has been done extending these questions to explore how children pair actions with objects. Most likely, children learn these tasks through many channels including direct instruction and self-exploration of objects; however, these studies focus on the contribution of imitation in facilitating this type of learning. Since young children readily imitate the actions of others, imitation provides an efficient way to learn about their environment and enables the explosion of learned action-object pairs observed during the first few years of life. More specifically, these studies attempt to determine what strategies children use in order to determine what and how they should imitate. What helps a child to constrain the number of possible matches between an object and its canonical actions? And, what cues do children use to determine the important aspects of a model's demonstration? Study 1 presented 15- and 21-month-old children with a two-step action sequence using novel toys in which some of the actions were necessary and some were unnecessary to produce a desired effect. When these children were subsequently given a chance to interact with the toys, they systematically left out certain types of unnecessary actions. Study 2 investigated at what age children learn the importance of attending to a model's hands when learning how to manipulate a toy. There are many aspects of a model's behavior which could be imitated, but humans manipulate most objects with our hands so attending to what a model's hands are doing is especially important. The 21-month-olds in our study were able to both attend to and imitate the model's hands, while the 15-month-olds were not as consistent. Imitation has many demands. These studies are designed to provide some insights into how young children determine what and how to imitate.
