Mimicking behavior, also known as imitation or mimicry, is the act of copying the behavior of another person or animal. APERY is a type of mimicry in which an individual copies the behavior of another individual without any conscious effort. It is often seen in animals, such as birds, who learn to copy the behavior of their parents or other members of their species. APERY can also be seen in humans, where it is used to learn new skills or behaviors.
