Abstract

This paper reviewed the findings of action imitation defects in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from both behavioral and neural perspectives. It summarized the existing literature about behavioral performance and brain mechanism related to imitation defects; Evaluation tools and treatment strategies for imitation defects were also included in this review. This review is of great implication for advance the understanding of action imitation defects in ASD and provides an insight for screening and treating imitation defects.
