Neonatal imitation and an epigenetic account of mirror neuron development
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 April 2014
Abstract
Neonatal imitation should not exclusively be considered at the population-level; instead, we propose that inconsistent findings regarding its occurrence result from important individual differences in imitative responses. We also highlight what we consider to be a false dichotomy of genetic versus learning accounts of the development of mirror neurons, and instead suggest a more parsimonious epigenetic perspective.
