Summary
In this study, the influence of oxytocin on automatic imitation behaviour is investigated.
Healthy adults will be administered with either oxytocin or a placebo, and will perform an
imitation-inhibition task (as a measure of automatic imitation behaviour). To determine the
specificity of the oxytocin effect, an unrelated cognitive task (Stroop task) will also be
presented.
