Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deferred imitation involves the ability to remember and imitate an action observed at an earlier time. This requires the child to form and maintain a mental representation of the action, which is an indication of enduring mental representations. Symbolic representation refers to the ability to use one object or action to represent another, egocentrism refers to the inability to take another person's perspective, and conservation refers to the understanding that a quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance. While these are all important developmental milestones, they are not directly related to deferred imitation.
