Imitation, empathy, and mirror neurons. (2009, background): “Furthermore, early in human development , adults tend to imitate the baby (Nadel 2002), thus favoring the formation of the associations between sensory and motor representations of actions.”
Exploring the use of a mobile robot as an imitation agent with children with low-functioning autism (2008, background): “Nadel [7,8] indicates that this form of communication needs some cognitive and meta-cognitive abilities that appear after 18 months old, such as the capacities to attribute intentions to the imitator and to understand incitation to imitate.”
Abstraction Levels for Robotic Imitation: Overview and Computational Approaches (2010, unknown): “In [45,97], robots able to imitate have been used to interact with autistic children.”
A Social Work Model of Empathy (2009, background): “Research suggests that the more imitation a toddler engages in, the better the child’s later facility at speaking and language acquisition (Nadel, 2002; Eckerman & Didow, 1996).”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, result): “They looked longer at the adult who was imitating them; smiled more at this adult; and most significantly, directed testing behaviour at that adult (for similar results, see also Asendorph (2002) and Nadel (2002)).”
1 Imitation and Other Minds: The "Like Me" Hypothesis (2005, background): “Mutual imitation and the question of "who is imitating whom" is not only apparent in toddlers but also in older children (Asendorpf, 2002; Nadel, 2002) and adults.”
The challenges of joint attention (2006, background): “Nadel has emphasized the role of such immediate imitations for bootstrapping social exchanges in particular for turn-taking, role switching and topic sharing (Nadel, 2002).”
