[Invited Talk] Study of Children's Minds through a Robot -- Challenge of Developmental Cybernetics --

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) For human infants, agents—defined as other humans—are the fundamental units of their social world. Agents provide very special stimuli to infants. Researchers of object-person differentiation have proposed a set of rules that infants probably use during their interaction with people as opposed to objects. In this paper, I will review investigations into how children understand and detect both human and nonhuman agents and communicate with them. We will start with a definition of mentalizing and summarize the course of its development. I will then introduce a study on infant imitation of a robot’s action and a false belief task with robots, proposing a new research domain called “Developmental Cybernetics”, which studies the interaction between children and robots. It has been predicted that in ordinary 21st-century households, robotics technology will be as common as refrigerators and dishwashers. Therefore, exploring developmental cybernetics is important.
