György Gergely studies developmental cognition, including how infants interpret another person’s action. In the head-touch-lamp experiment, the demonstrator’s available hands changed the context for an unusual action. Comparing infants’ later imitation across contexts tests whether they reproduce a movement indiscriminately or respond to information about why the demonstrator used that movement. [ref]
