Types of Psychological mirroring

What are there various types of mirroring? How do they differ and what are the main papers. For example: childhood mirroring vs psychopathic mirroring.

Phenomenon	Timing	What's Copied	Mechanism	Purpose/Function	When It Feels "Off"
Childhood Mirroring (Meltzoff & Moore, 1977)	Infancy onwards	Facial expressions, vocalisations, movements	Innate developmental process; active intermodal mapping (AIM)	Learning, bonding, developing empathy and sense of self	N/A - normal development
Mirror Neurons (di Pellegrino et al., 1992; Rizzolatti et al., 1996)	Milliseconds	Motor actions, possibly emotions	Neurological - neurons fire both when performing and observing actions	Underpins imitation, empathy, action understanding	N/A - neurological substrate
Chameleon Effect (Chartrand & Bargh, 1999)	2-5 seconds	Postures, gestures, mannerisms, facial expressions	Automatic, nonconscious perception-behaviour link	Social glue; increases liking and rapport unconsciously	Too fast (<2 sec), too precise, or too frequent - triggers suspicion
Communication Accommodation Theory (Giles et al., 1973)	Minutes to ongoing	Vocabulary, phrases, accent, speech rate, tone	Can be conscious or unconscious	Signalling affiliation, reducing social distance, seeking approval	When motive appears manipulative or self-serving
Mimicry-Deception Theory (Jones, 2014)	Variable - short or long-term	Emotions, cooperative behaviours, trustworthy signals	Deliberate, strategic - used to avoid detection	Exploitation, resource extraction, appearing trustworthy while deceiving	Short-term: rushed charm, quick exit. Long-term: mask slips under stress, history doesn't match
Affective Mimicry in Psychopathy (Book et al., 2015)	Deliberate/on-demand	Fearful expressions, remorse, prosocial emotions	Cognitive understanding of emotion intact; emotional experience absent	"Mask of sanity" - appear genuine to exploit others	Cleckley's "emotional poverty" - the affect is technically correct but hollow
