Both chimps and pre-verbal kids give us similar results when researched. It’s like asking if Superman or Batman is better—they might have different ways, but they're both super!

• The Scene: Imagine trying to push a buzzer button, but you miss! 🚫🔊
• The Experiment: Meltzoff wondered if kids would copy what an adult did OR what an adult tried to do.
• What Happened: Whether the adult hit or missed the buzzer, the tiny humans copied the intention—trying to hit the buzzer!
• 🤔 Think About This: Is this just kiddos following movements, or are they being mini-psychologists and understanding adult intentions?

• The Scene: Human vs. Robot dance-off! 🤖💃
• The Experiment: Repeat the buzzer test, but with machines mimicking human moves.
• Results: Kids knew machines didn't intend anything. They were 6x more likely to imitate a human trying to press the buzzer than a robot doing the same thing.

🌍 Real-world Example: It’s like how you'd feel more inspired watching Michael Jordan try a slam dunk and miss than watching a basketball arcade game tossing balls and missing.
