TASK
Action imitation task
A task in which a participant sees another person perform an action and later performs the same action him/herself. Imitation can be immediate or delayed. It can be instructed or elicited implicitly (without the participant's conscious awareness). The actions imitated can be familar/meaningful actions or unfamilar/meaningless actions.
