An example of instantaneous matching be where the child observes another child getting praise for picking up the toys and immediately joins into picking up the toys.
An example of delayed matchingwould be a situation where a child witnesses a peer being praised by the teacher for sharing his crayons with a classmate. Later that week the child shared her cookies.
