CREATING A SOCIAL WORLD : 3 A DEVELOPMENTAL TWIN STUDY OF PEER GROUP DEVIANCE 4 5 Kenneth

Creating a social world: a developmental twin study of peer-group deviance.

CONTEXT Peer-group deviance is strongly associated with externalizing behaviors. We have limited knowledge of the sources of individual differences in peer-group deviance. OBJECTIVE To clarify genetic and environmental contributions to peer-group deviance in twins from midchildhood through early adulthood. DESIGN Retrospective assessments using a life-history calendar. Analysis by biometric...

Brain-to-brain coupling: a mechanism for creating and sharing a social world.

Cognition materializes in an interpersonal space. The emergence of complex behaviors requires the coordination of actions among individuals according to a shared set of rules. Despite the central role of other individuals in shaping one's mind, most cognitive studies focus on processes that occur within a single individual. We call for a shift from a single-brain to a multi-brain frame of refer...

Creating a World for Socio-Cultural Agents

Creating agents that are capable of emulating similar sociocultural dynamics to those found in human interaction remains as one of the hardest challenges of artificial intelligence. This problem becomes particularly important when considering embodied agents that are meant to interact with humans in a believable and empathic manner. In this article, we introduce a conceptual model for socio-cul...

Creating driving behavior for artificial agents in a social augmented micro-world

This paper presents first results on the implementation of driving agents in the socially augmented micro-world (SAM). Time series analysis are used for comparing the agent behavior with human behavior. We will discuss the results from time series analysis/clustering and compare them with classifications done by hand. Further approaches for future research are presented and discussed.
