This paper investigates a two-stage model of infants' imitative learning from observed actions and their effects. According to this model, the observation of another person's action activates the corresponding motor code in the infants' motor repertoire (i.e. leads to motor resonance). The second process guiding imitative behavior results from the observed action effects. If the modeled action ...

In narrative discourse, explanation can be considered abductive reasoning, described as a creative type of reasoning which generates new ideas, and prediction can be considered logical deductive reasoning. Given the well-known associations with hemisphere processing and reasoning associations, it would be expected that patients with left hemisphere brain damage would exhibit more evidence of ex...

We extend the analysis in Alós-Ferrer and Ania (2005) to allow for memory in the imitative learning process. Adding memory allows to detect and correct unprofitable deviations and makes it harder to disturb Nash equilibria with spiteful deviations that achieve a relative advantage. We show for the case of general aggregative submodular games that perfectly competitive outcomes are still stochas...

I summarise and attempt to clarify some concepts presented in and arising from Margaret Boden’s (1990) descriptive hierarchy of creativity, by beginning to formalise the ideas she proposes. The aim is to move towards a model which allows detailed comparison, and hence better understanding, of systems which exhibit behaviour which would be called ‘‘creative’’ in humans. The work paves the way fo...

The paper describes results from a simulation model of rural land use, focusing on how the relative advantages of imitative and non-imitative approaches to land use selection change under diierent circumstances. It is shown that the success ofìmitation' depends in quite complex ways on the type of imitation used, the strategies of other agents with which the imitator is interacting, and aspects...
