Evolution, Development and Intentional Control of Imitation
(The EDICI project)
The human capacity for imitation provides the foundation for language acquisition, skill learning, socialisation, and enculturation.
The dominant North American model claims that imitation is innate.
The EDICI project replaces this conception with a model incorporating evolutionary, developmental and cultural inputs to imitation.
The EDICI project is financed by the European Commission (FP6 NEST)
The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI)
The KLI is an international center for advanced studies in theoretical biology. It supports the articulation, analysis, and integration of biological theories and the exploration of their wider scientific and cultural significance.
The Clever Dog Lab thanks all above-named and a private sponsor for the support!
