NADEL, Jacqueline  e  BAUDONNIERE, Pierre-Marie. Imitação, modo preponderante de intercâmbio entre pares, durante o terceiro ano de vida. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 1981, n.39, pp.26-31. ISSN 0100-1574.

The study aims at an analysis of a means of communication between peers at a given period of development (2.1 - 2.11): the imitation of persons. The child resorts to this mode of exchange at a period when, according to Wallon, the identification with the other is an essential element inthe elaboration of his own self. Imitation focus not on the objective of the activity, as in observational learning, but on the gestures and attitudes of the other in the course of carrying things out. Children of different creches were filmed (during 15 to 30 minutes) without their knowledge in the absence of adults, in small groups of two then three children. Three of each object were available. They are of two sorts: relevant to development of attitudes of persons (hat, umbrellas, ...) or for developing physical activity (balloons, ...). The first results show, besides the absence of agression, a preponderance of initiation and maintenance of contact by imitation, allowing an analysis of different functions of imitation and its role in communication between children.
