在回顾了有关模仿的文献后，作者描述了5个实验。旨在便于观察学习过程中可能发生的任何模仿。以前的研究利用演示已经高度培训的问题，由受训者掌握。在目前的预期中，13只动物轮流作为观察者和示范者，在各种实验中。设置.在他们的正常能力范围内的问题，猫受益于观察另一只猫的学习过程。观察15熟练的表演是远远低于观察的学习过程中的好处。相对优势的观察学习过程中，相比，观察熟练的性能，是更大的问题机制时，更多的不正确的操作是可能的。
After reviewing the literature on imitation, the authors describe 5 expts. designed to facilitate observation of any imitation which might occur during the learning process. Previous studies have utilized a demonstrator already highly trained in the problem to be mastered by the trainee. In the present expts., 13 animals were used in rotation as observer and demonstrator, in a variety of exptl. settings. On problems within their normal range of ability, cats benefited from observing the learning process of another cat. Observation of 15 skilled performances was much less beneficial than observation of the learning process. The relative advantage of observation of the learning process, as compared to observation of skilled performances, was greater when more incorrect manipulations of the problem mechanism were possible.
