The studies were carried out in a Scandinavian context and thus provide important cultural validation of the central developmental processes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into three parts: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e Part one focuses on the social and cognitive aspects of imitation, discussing links to early parent-infant interaction, and developmental meaning. It addresses evidence for an imitative capacity at birth for typical and atypical infants. Also covered are early individual differences in imitation, the role of imitation as a social and cognitive learning mechanism in early development, and possible links between imitation and temperament. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart two presents unique longitudinal studies on early memory development using deferred imitation as the key method. It discusses the biological basis of memory and explores the idea that deferred imitation is an indicator of an infant's ability to understand intentions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart three focuses on imitation in young children with autism and with Down syndrome.
