Deferred imitation is when a child observes someone else's actions and then imitates them later on. In this scenario, the toddler is observing the parent's previous smoking behavior and mimicking it with a crayon, which is an example of deferred imitation. Secondary circular reactions, object permanence, and action memory do not apply to this situation.
