Echopraxia
When somebody involuntarily imitates the movements of another. Echopraxia is sometimes accompanied by echolalia. Echolalia is when someone repeats the speech of somebody else in an involuntary and meaningless way. Both echopraxia and echolalia are caused by brain injury. Echopraxia is also known as echomotism. Echopraxia comes from the Greek word "echo" meaning "sound," and the Greek word "praxis" meaning "action." Put the words together and you have "sound action."
