Table 1.

a. The instruction used in Experiment 1 for English-speaking parents.
There will be 4 different demonstrations on videotape. When the videotape indicates, “START”, then you should use the same object to teach your child how to do the same action, then let him/her perform the action. When a beep sound occurs, the videotape will indicate “END”, then stop your work and pay attention to the screen again—there will be the second demonstration on the screen. Repeat the same procedure. There will be four segments for you to show your child.
