SOCIOCULTURAL THEORY AND L2: State of the Art (2006, background): “…269!+12 An especially significant finding of research on imitation is that children frequently defer imitation of their models for a day or more ~Meltzoff, 2002!+ This permits children to analyze language offline ~Meltzoff & Gopnik, 1989! and thus focus more attention on the model than they…”
The Unconscious Mind (2008, background): “The evolved, innate basis of these ubiquitous priming effects is revealed by the fact that they are present soon after birth, underpinning the infant’s imitative abilities (see Meltzoff, 2002).”
Singing as Communication (2005, background): “So by the age of one year, for example, infants from different cultures are sufficiently cued into the maternal language to babble differently: French infants babble with French speech units, Russian infants with Russian, and Japanese with Japanese (Meltzoff 2002).”
Singing and vocal development (2006, background): “Pitch characteristics of Japanese maternal speech to infants.”
Learning Shared Latent Structure for Image Synthesis and Robotic Imitation (2005, background): “Another domain where finding common structure is crucial is imitation learning, also called “learning by watching” [11, 12, 6].”
Phenomenology and Psychopathology (2010, background): “Based on the mirror neuron system and shared self-other representations of movement (Decety and Sommerville 2003), imitation serves as a major instrument for early social cognition (Meltzoff 2002).”
The Roots of Empathy: The Shared Manifold Hypothesis and the Neural Basis of Intersubjectivity (2003, unknown): “Meltzoff and Moore [1977, 1997; Meltzoff, 2002] showed that newborns as young as 18 h are perfectly capable to reproduce mouth and face movements displayed by the adult they are facing.”
Is agency skin-deep? Surface attributes influence infants' sensitivity to goal-directed action (2004, background): “Moreover, infants’emerging agentive experience may contribute to the development of action knowledge ( Meltzoff, 2002; Sommerville & Woodward, in press; Sommerville, Woodward, & Needham, in press).”
1 Imitation and Other Minds: The "Like Me" Hypothesis (2005, methodology): “A recent study examined whether infants understand the objectdirectedness of adult attentive movements (Brooks & Meltzoff, 2002).”
