Gestures/Imitation/developmental psychology/Slater: there is considerable variability in the gestures the scorers identified [in Meltzoff’s experiments] (>Imitation/Meltzoff

Campos et al (2008(2), p. 1625) ditto.
>Imitation/Developmental psychology, >Imitation/Animal studies, >Mirror neurons/psychological theories.
