*In a peer-reviewed study, Bulent Turan and Ruth M. Townsley Stemberger found that "matching another person's representational language enhances perceived empathy."  The researchers placed a screen between the conversational partners in order to eliminate visual cues to empathy. <ref>Turan, Bulent and Ruth M.

*In another peer-reviewed study, professors Tanya Chartrand and John Bargh report that when experimenters mirrored subjects, the subjects reported that the experimenters were "more likable" and that they had had "smoother interactions" with them.  They call this the "chameleon effect."  In addition, they found that people who were rated high on empathy mirrored their conversational partners more frequently. <ref>Barco, Tori.

*Researchers at Stanford programmed an AI to mimic student movements while explaining a possible new university policy.  An article in Wired explains that 7 out of the 69 students detected the mimicry, but the remaining students who did not detect it "liked the mimicking agent more than the recorded agent, rating the former more friendly, interesting, honest and persuasive. They also paid better attention to the parroting presenter, looking away less often. Most significantly, they were more likely to come around to the mimicking agent's way of thinking on the issue of mandatory ID." <ref>Poulsen, Kevin. "AI Seduces Stanford Students."
