DESCRIPTION:Over the past 35 years\, considerable research effort has been
  expended investigating neonatal imitation. The phenomenon is highly contr
 oversial\, and the field currently offers several theories for the mechani
 sm and function of neonatal imitation. In my talk\, I will present data fr
 om a longitudinal study on neonatal imitation with 62 infants in the first
  six months of life. I will be discussing whether or not infants imitate\,
  whether they can imitate a range of gestures or whether the phenomenon is
  restricted to the copying of tongue protrusion. Finally\, I will discuss 
 the implications of this study for the broader field of developmental psyc
 hology.
