   Abstract:
   The current study was a replication and extension of a study of infant imitative learning by Meltzoff (1995). Unlike the 18-month-old infants in that study (and other 18-month-olds in the current study), the 12-month-olds in this study did not frequently imitate unsuccessful goal-directed actions. Also, both 12- and 18-month-old infants reproduced actions more often when they observed the entire action and its result than when they observed the result only. © 1999 ABLEX Publishing Corporation.
