Keven & Akins (K&A) redefine some of the neonatal imitation (NI) behaviors as developmental stereotypes. From a neuroconstructivist framework, those early gestures are also far from being considered as imitative behaviors. The cognitive substrate of imitation requires an interactive context to develop. Prior to intentional imitation, the dyad shows mimicry behaviors, which are automatic, but do not fade through development.

当二元互动为语境时：模仿起源的模仿行为

Keven & Akins (K&A) 将一些新生儿模仿 (NI) 行为重新定义为发育刻板印象。从神经建构主义的框架来看，那些早期的手势也远不被视为模仿行为。模仿的认知基础需要一个互动的环境来发展。在有意模仿之前，二元组显示模仿行为是自动的，但不会随着发展而消失。
