SEcond person:

The older infant (eight to twelve months) is beginning to do a great deal of imitating.  What development purpose does this behavior serve?

Imitation is a crucial aspect of skill development.  This is because there are learning new things quickly. The ability to imitating helps to determine whether or not a child will have difficulty with communication and social skills. Studies show that most children learn everything from gross motor movements, to speech, to interactive play skills just by watching what those around them do.
