摘要 To clarify the nature of the social cognitive skills involved in preschoolers` reenactment of actions on objects, we studied 31- and 41-month-old children`s reenactment of intended acts ("failed attempts") in Meltzoff`s (Meltzoff, A. N. (1995). Understanding the intentions of others: Reenactment of intended acts by 18-month-old children. Developmental Psychology, 31, 838-850) behavioural reenactment paradigm. Measuring children`s first action, performance of target acts was similar in a novel Emulation Learning condition to that seen in the Failed Attempt condition. In the Emulation Learning condition, children did not see the adult`s manipulation and their response was likely to have been based on the end state specifying the object`s key affordances. Both 31- and 41-month-old children also copied the control acts they had observed in the Adult Manipulation condition. However, 41-month-old but not 31-month-old children reproduced the failed attempt actions in the Failed Attempt condition. This pattern of findings suggests that, whilst 2- to 3-year-olds mimic adults` actions when these actions do not trigger alternative object affordances, only in the third year of life will children mimic adults` actions when these actions simultaneously trigger such affordances. Reenactment of actions on objects involves a number of social cognitive processes and exceptional care in the design of experiments is required to determine the roles played by intention-reading, emulation, and mimicry. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.
