Imitation of facial and manual gestures by human neonates.
Infants between 12 and 21 days of age can imitate both facial and manual gestures; this behavior cannot be explained in terms of either conditioning or innate releasing mechanisms. Such imitation implies that human neonates can equate their own unseen behaviors with gestures they see others perform.
متن کاملLearning of Gestures by Imitation in a Humanoid Robot
Traditionally, robotics developed highly specific controllers for the robot to perform a specific set of tasks in highly constrained and deterministic environments. This required to embed the controller with an extensive knowledge of the robot’s architecture and of its environment. It was soon clear that such an approach would not scale up for controlling robots with multiple degrees of freedom...
متن کاملThe origins of non-human primates' manual gestures.
The increasing body of research into human and non-human primates' gestural communication reflects the interest in a comparative approach to human communication, particularly possible scenarios of language evolution. One of the central challenges of this field of research is to identify appropriate criteria to differentiate a gesture from other non-communicative actions. After an introduction t...
متن کاملImitation of intonational gestures: a preliminary report
In this paper we report on an experimental investigation of how speakers imitate intonational gestures. The aim of the experiment was to determine which aspects of intonational contours are most directly controlled by speakers. Experiment participants heard parametrically varied HL (rising-falling) intonational contours in a synthesized trisyllabic name; they responded by imitating the name, em...
متن کاملFrom Imitation to Conversation: The First Dialogues with Human Neonates
The functional maturity of the newborn infant’s brain, the resemblances between neonatal imitation and imitation in adults and the possibly lateralized neonatal imitation suggest that the mirror neuron system may contribute to neonatal imitation. Newborn infants not only imitate but also initiate previously imitated gestures, and are able to participate in overlapping imitation–initiation commu...
