Attachment. Evaluation 1
Problems when testing infant behaviour. Mouths are in fairly constant movement. Hard to tell whether it is general movement of imitated behaviour. Showed an observer who didn't know the expressions that the infant had been shown.

Attachment. Evaluation 2
Another way of testing the imitation of infant behaviour is to use inanimate objects. 2 objects, tongue/mouth action. Little effect on 5-12 weeks old. Don't just imitate anything it is a social response to human behaviour.
