Socially interactive robot needs the same behaviors and capabilities of human to be accepted as a member in human society. The environment, in which this robot should operate, is the human daily life. The interaction capabilities of current robots are still limited due to complex inter-human interaction system. Humans usually use different types of verbal and nonverbal cues in their communicati...

Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that characterized by abnormal bilateral social interaction, deficiency in verbal and nonverbal communication, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors .autism caused by the inappropriate immune response which released several cytokines. One of the most important and main causes of autism is a defect in, the formation of the neuronal synaptic ...

Current state-of-the-art approaches to emotion recognition primarily focus on modeling the nonverbal expressions of the sole individual without reference to contextual elements such as the co-presence of the partner. In this paper, we demonstrate that the accurate inference of listeners’ social-emotional state of attention depends on accounting for the nonverbal behaviors of their storytelling ...

Across two field studies of romantic attraction, we demonstrate that postural expansiveness makes humans more romantically appealing. In a field study (n = 144 speed-dates), we coded nonverbal behaviors associated with liking, love, and dominance. Postural expansiveness-expanding the body in physical space-was most predictive of attraction, with each one-unit increase in coded behavior from the...

강의 내용에 대한 해박한 지식은 좋은 강의를 위한 전제 조 건이다. 그러나 그것만으로는 충분하지 않다. 강의중 학생들 을 집중시키고 학습을 자극하는 분위기를 조성하는 것도 교 수자의 몫이다. 교수자는 이를 위해서 언어적 및 비언적 의사 소통 방법을 모두 동원해야 한다. 의과대학 수업평가에 관한 연구에 의하면[1], 의과대학 학 생들은 교수자의 ‘강의 전달 능력’을 수업평가의 가장 중요한 요소로 꼽았다. 눈 마주침, 표정, 제스처, 자세, 목소리의 특 성, 말투, 빠르기 등 교수자의 비언어적 의사소통 방식에 따라 서 수업의 성공 여부가 크게 좌우된다는 것이다. 교수자의 이야기 방식, 즉 비언어적 의사소통은 교육 과정 에서 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 인간은 대부분의 정보를 시각 과 청각을 통해 수집하는데 비...

Advances in animation and sensor technology allow us to engage in face-to-face conversations with virtual agents [1]. One major challenge is to generate the virtual agent’s appropriate, human-like behavior contingent with that of the human conversational partner. Models of (nonverbal) behavior are pre-dominantly learned from corpora of dialogs between human subjects [2], or based on simple obse...

The frequency, course, and inter-relationships of atypical eating, sleeping, self-injurious behavior, aggression and temper tantrums in children with autism and children with a history of language impairment (HLI), was investigated using a parent interview that was created to examine these problem behaviors. The relationships between these behaviors and language, IQ, severity of autistic sympto...

BACKGROUND Little is known about how young people communicate about initiating intercourse. PURPOSE This study was designed to gauge the prevalence of implied versus verbal consent at first intercourse in a U.S. college population, assess effects of consent type on contraceptive use, and explore the influences of gender, race and other factors. METHODS We conducted and analyzed a cross-sect...

Much work on communication and joint action conceptualizes interaction as a dynamical system. Under this view, dynamic properties of interaction should be shaped by the context in which the interaction is taking place. Here we explore interpersonal movement coordination or synchrony-the degree to which individuals move in similar ways over time-as one such context-sensitive property. Studies of...
