Results: Proving that the social environment is a factor that provides great stimulation for learning by imitation, confirming that children are influenced by the people around them. Discussions: A deep understanding of the functioning of mirror neurons and their relationship with vicarious learning could contribute to the development of new teaching strategies, therapies for the treatment of learning disorders or social interaction..
