- The juvenile subsequently imitates the behavior, having absorbed not just the motor sequence but the behavioral disposition toward this kind of foraging, an attitudinal residue that shapes future behavior across contexts, a vicarious-learning substrate Whiten, McGuigan, Marshall-Pescini, and Hopper (2009) treat as the deep evolutionary anchor for imitation-based cultural transmission in any mind capable of copying an observed action sequence.
This sourceComparative review of chimpanzee and child cultural transmission: diffusion and ghost-condition experiments show that chimpanzees rely substantially on imitation (copying full action sequences) rather than pure emulation of object movements, supplying the deep evolutionary anchor for vicarious learning from observed agent trajectories across the human/non-human boundary.
