Abstract

Abstract The present study examined the effects of CA, MA, and IQ on verbal imitation of five-year-old children. Three dependent measures of imitation were used: total, mimical, and conceptual. The results indicated that a transition occurs during the fifth year of life as young five-year-olds emitted more mimical and less conceptual responses than older five-year-olds. Furthermore, IQ is an important factor, as high IQ subjects, except when their CAs were less than five years, emitted fewer total and mimical responses than low IQ subjects.
