How did the neonatal imitation work of Meltzoff and Moore (1977) conflict with Piaget’s work? They claimed to have documented evidence of imitation in newborns when Piaget argued that this ability did not emerge until after 8 months of age. They demonstrated that it wasn’t until 12 months of age that infants can imitate others, when Piaget had argued such ability is present at birth.

They demonstrated that it wasn’t until 12 months of age that infants have object permanence, when Piaget had argued such ability is present at birth.
