Keven & Akins (K&A) revisit the controversial subject of neonatal imitation through analysing the physiological foundations of neonatal spontaneous behaviour. Consequently, they regard imitative capacities in neonates as unlikely. We welcome this approach as an overdue encouragement to refuse cognitively rich interpretations as far as cognitively lean interpretations are conceivable, and apply this rationale to other phenomena in early childhood development.

扭转局面：呼吁对婴儿行为进行认知精益解释

Keven & Akins (K&A) 通过分析新生儿自发行为的生理基础，重新审视了有争议的新生儿模仿主题。因此，他们认为新生儿的模仿能力不太可能。我们欢迎这种方法，作为一种迟来的鼓励，即在可以想象认知精益解释的情况下拒绝认知丰富的解释，并将这一基本原理应用于儿童早期发展中的其他现象。
