What is the ultimate goal of motor imitation training?

The ultimate goal of motor imitation training is to exhibit the behavior without a model. This process involves teaching individuals to replicate specific actions or behaviors demonstrated by another person (the model) and aims to facilitate long-term independence in performing those actions. By focusing on having the individual exhibit the behavior independently, motor imitation training enhances their ability to generalize learned skills and apply them in various contexts without the need for a prompt or demonstration from someone else. The skill of imitating can be crucial for social interactions, play, and other areas where independent action is required.
