The behavior described in the scenario is deferred imitation, which is the ability to imitate actions that were observed in the past. The imitation is deferred because it occurs after a delay or in the absence of the model. This is different from visible imitation, which refers to the immediate imitation of actions that are currently being observed, and social learning, which involves learning from others through observation and interaction. Invisible imitation is not a recognized term in developmental psychology.
