Imitation Performance in Children with Autism and the Role of Visual Attention in Imitation
In this study, we examined imitation performance, visual attention, and the relationship between imitation and visual attention of children with...

Automatic imitation of speech is enhanced for non-native sounds
Simulation accounts of speech perception posit that speech is covertly imitated to support perception in a top-down manner. Behaviourally, covert...
