迄今为止，发展研究很少涉及模仿具有人际关系和社会基础功能这一概念。因此，本研究通过操纵模型的社会可用性来检验社会参与对24个月大婴儿模仿的作用。在实验1中，与不能提供社会偶然反馈的录像模特相比，孩子们更有可能模仿一个有社会反应的真人模特的确切动作。在实验2中，孩子们更有可能模仿一个可以通过闭路电视系统与他们交流的模特的确切动作，而不是一个不能提供互动反馈的录像模特。本研究提供了明确的证据，表明儿童的模仿行为受到模型的社会性质的影响。这些发现与模仿理论和视频缺陷理论有关。
To date, developmental research has rarely addressed the notion that imitation serves an interpersonal, socially based function. The present research thus examined the role of social engagement on 24-month-olds' imitation by manipulating the social availability of the model. In Experiment 1, the children were more likely to imitate the exact actions of a live socially responsive model compared to a videotaped model who could not provide socially contingent feedback. In Experiment 2, the children were more likely to imitate the exact actions of a model with whom they could communicate via a closed-circuit TV system than a videotaped model who could not provide interactive feedback. This research provides clear evidence that children's imitative behavior is affected by the social nature of the model. These findings are discussed in relation to theories on imitation and the video deficit.
