High-level social learning in apes: Imitation or observation-assisted planning?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 1998
Abstract
Byrne & Russon's notion of program-level imitation is based on the ability of apes to plan novel sequences of behavior and on how information gleaned by observation can aid the planning process. Byrne & Russon would have made a stronger case by focusing on social learning and planning and expending less effort interpreting their results as a new category of imitation.
