Learning by imitation (Mirror Neuron)

Learning by imitation is possibly occurred in primates. It has been even implemented on non-primates like robots. Research has shown that learning by imitation may be caused by the operation of mirror neurons. Here is the Wiki about mirror neuron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron
Also, I found a Chinese article talking about the relationship between mirror neurons and language learning, http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/williamtwwilliamtw/article?mid=1450
So I conducted an experiment on Claire to see whether learning by imitation is true on her.
