- •
We simultaneously analyze 12-month-olds looking and deferred imitation behavior.
- •
We vary action functionality (arbitrary vs. functional) in a deferred imitation task.
- •
Infants’ looking time to arbitrary vs. functional does not significantly differ.
- •
No deferred imitation for arbitrary actions was found.
- •
Functional actions are, however, imitated significantly more than arbitrary actions.
