Table 2.

The percentage of trials across all children that conformed to the different possible patterns in the Imitation Choice phase. A Plus sign indicates that the participant correctly matched that component of the model; a Minus sign indicates that the participant did not match the model (either through an omission or a reversal).

Path Component	Goal Component	Pattern Type	Percentage of Trials
+	+	Matching both: Failure to respect event ‘flow’	6.9%
−	−	Matching neither: Ignoring the model	21%
+	−	Matching Path at the expense of Goal	46.5%
−	+	Matching Goal at the Expense of Path	25.4%
