Echopraxia

Echopraxia

Echopraxia is the involuntary, automatic, imitation of an interviewer’s movements. This may be observed as a feature of apraxic syndromes, such as corticobasal degeneration, as a complex motor tic in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, and in frontal lobe disorders (imitation behavior).
