Turning the tide: A plea for cognitively lean interpretations of infant behaviour

Beisert, Miriam; Zmyj, Norbert; Daum, Moritz M (2017). Turning the tide: A plea for cognitively lean interpretations of infant behaviour. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 40:e383.

Abstract

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.
