Motive to imitate Learning Function - The people who are insensitive to environment’s change are not human’s ancestry. - Attraction forward novelty Communicative Function - The people who are alone are not human’s ancestry, too. - Transfer of knowledge from one individual to another. © 2015, SNU CSE Biointelligence Lab., 7

Learning Function Attraction forward novelty “Look-at-me and do-like-me” - Observational learning. A system allow the imitation of the movement of a teacher(or model)’s movement. © 2015, SNU CSE Biointelligence Lab., 8

Communicative Function Transfer of knowledge from one individual to another. Turn-taking : Imitator and model role. © 2015, SNU CSE Biointelligence Lab., 9

Communicative Function Synchrony A model of synchronization of rhythm between two systems describes the first step toward a communicative us of imitation. © 2015, SNU CSE Biointelligence Lab., 10 action perception WaitWait action WaitWait A B
