在模仿过程中激活的运动程序是由目标组织的这一观点是通过要求学龄前儿童模仿一组不同复杂程度的手势来调查的，这些手势是由坐在他们前面的实验者做出的。在实验1和3中，孩子们伸手去拿正确的物体（他们自己耳朵的音调或桌子上两个点中的一个），但他们更喜欢用同侧手。当手只对着一只耳朵运动时（实验2），或者当运动指向空间而不是物理物体时（实验3），这种同侧偏好没有被观察到。研究结果与模仿是由目标引导的观点是一致的，并提供了关于这些目标是如何组织的见解。
The view that the motor program activated during imitation is organized by goals was investigated by asking pre-school children to imitate a set of hand gestures of varying complexity that were made by an experimenter sitting in front of them. In Experiments 1 and 3, children reached for the correct object tone of their own ears or one of two dots on a table) but preferred to use the ipsilateral hand. This ipsilateral preference was not observed when hand movements were made to only one ear (Experiment 2), or when movements were diercted at space rather than physical objects (Experiment 3). The results are consistent with the notion that imitation is guided by goals and provide insights about how these goals are organized.
