mirroring
Echoing someone's movements
Mirroring is reflecting or copying something as a mirror does.
In psychology, mirroring describes unconsciously imitating another person's gestures, speech patterns, or emotions—a behavior that builds rapport: She noticed him mirroring her posture.
In computing, mirroring duplicates data across drives or servers for backup.
To mirror something is to reflect or replicate it closely: His anxiety mirrored my own.
