过去的研究表明，儿童会高度忠实地模仿成年人的行为，即使是与模拟结果明显无关的行为。然而，这种现象一直被记录在已经带来明确功能结果的情况下（例如打开盒子取回玩具）。在这里，我们展示了幼儿将如何继续采取成年人向他们展示的精确行动，即使在建模过程中没有实现行动的目标。一组4岁的参与者在有机玻璃管的底部放置了一个玩具。尽管有一瓶水可用，但与一群成年人的反应不同，很少有孩子自发地确定了将水倒入管中以将玩具提升到管中的解决方案。然而，大多数人是在看到一个成年人演示这种方法后才这样做的。至关重要的是，孩子们模仿了成年人的特定方法，即使这涉及到从瓶子倒进杯子里，然后从杯子倒进管子里的不必要的步骤。这些结果强调了过度模仿对儿童的价值，他们在一个充满物体的世界中长大，这些物体的操作机制往往是隐藏的或不清楚的。
Past research has shown that children will copy the actions of adults with high fidelity, even actions that are obviously causally irrelevant to the modelled outcome. However, this phenomenon has always been documented in cases where a clear functional outcome has been brought about (e.g. getting a box open to retrieve a toy). Here, we demonstrate how young children will continue to adopt the precise actions shown to them by an adult even if the goal of the actions is not realized during modelling. A group of 4-year-old participants were presented with a toy lying at the bottom of a Perspex tube. Despite the availability of a bottle of water, and unlike the responses of a group of adults, few children spontaneously identified the solution of pouring the water into the tube to raise the toy up the tube where it could be reached. The majority did so, however, after seeing an adult demonstrate this approach. Critically, children copied the specific method of the adult, even when this involved the unnecessary steps of pouring from the bottle into a cup before pouring from the cup into the tube. These results highlight the value of overimitation to children growing up in a world filled with objects whose operating mechanisms are often hidden or unclear.
