Generalized Imitation and the Discrimination Hypothesis

Steinman, Warren M.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 10, 1, 79-99, Aug '70

The results of three experiments involving 6 young children suggest that the generalized imitation effect may not be entirely due to the child's inability to discriminate reinforced fron nonreinforced occasions. Instructional and social variables may strongly influence the generalized imitation effect. (WY)
