1904 T. Johnstone tr. E. Kraepelin Lect. Clin. Psychiatry iii. 25 All his movements showed a certain constraint and want of freedom. His limbs remained for some time in the position in which you placed them. If you raised your arms quickly in front of him, he imitated the movement, and he also clapped his hands when it was done before him. These phenomena, called respectively flexibilitas cerea, ‘waxen flexibility’, or catalepsy and echopraxis, are familiar to us from experiments in hypnotism.

1905 A. J. Rosanoff tr. J. Rogues de Fursac Man. Psychiatry i. iv. 92 Some [patients] repeat exactly the words (echolalia) or the gestures (echopraxia) of the persons around them.

1924 A. A. Brill tr. E. Bleuler Textbk. Psychiatry ii. 152 The impulse for such an action can also be given by means of example alone, as in echopraxia and echolalia.

1948 Brit. Jrnl. Psychol. Dec. 89 Mutism..echolalia, echopraxia, negativism..were the most common symptoms in this group [of schizophrenics].

It is partly a question of hysteria-like mechanism..and partly a matter of an incapacity to get away from a conceived idea, so that instead of giving an answer the question is repeated, or instead of a new action the preceding act is imitated (organic echolalias and echopraxias).
