Imitation (from Latin imitatio, a copying, imitation) is an advanced behavior whereby an individual observes and replicates another's behavior. Imitation is also a form of social learning that leads to the development of traditions, and ultimately our culture. The word imitation can be applied in many contexts, ranging from animal training to international politics. The term generally refers to conscious behavior; subconscious imitation is termed mirroring.
