We investigated whether children with autism imitate others’ actions in the same way as children
without autism. Bekkering et al. (2000) pointed out that the imitation of typically developing
children was goal-directed, so we investigated based on this standpoint. Fourteen children with
autism (mean age 11.9) and 18 typically developing children (mean age 11.8) participated in the
imitation task (Hand and Ear Test; Head, 1920). As a result, while typically developing children
imitate others’ actions in the goal-directed way, there was no such pattern in children with autism.
It suggested the somewhat different imitation between children with and without autism.
