Today’s topic: Mimicking
Sometimes we mimic people without even knowing. We think we have good control of our bodies. Everyone has a unique behavior pattern when they sit or stand.
Today’s question:
Will people mimic each other?
Sometimes. People mimic other people’s actions more than they would think. In an experiment, researchers had people talk to a man. The man would move his foot around. The man would also touch his face. The researchers watched if the participants would mimic the man.
This is what they found:
About 20% of the people in the study touched their face when the man did. About 50% of the people in the study moved their foot around when the man did. It seems we mimic more than we would think.
Today’s advice
Keep an eye out, you might see other people copying you!
