Imitation involves copying or reproducing the behavior of others. In this scenario, baby Tyler is copying the behavior of his sister by cleaning up his plate of food, which is an example of imitation. "Simulation" involves creating a scenario or situation that is similar to the real thing but is not an exact copy. "Mimicking" is a similar term, but it does not necessarily involve conscious copying and can be unintentional. "Habituation" is the process of becoming accustomed to a stimulus and decreasing one's response to it over time.
