Social interaction shapes babbling: testing parallels between birdsong and speech.
Birdsong is considered a model of human speech development at behavioral and neural levels. Few direct tests of the proposed analogs exist, however. Here we test a mechanism of phonological development in human infants that is based on social shaping, a selective learning process first documented in songbirds. By manipulating mothers' reactions to their 8-month-old infants' vocalizations, we de...
متن کاملHuman speech and birdsong: communication and the social brain.
A t first glance, communication in babies and birds appears to have little in common. Babies’ babblings become words and sentences, whereas birds’ initial notes become species-typical songs. However, a comparison of the ontogeny of communicative repertoires in human infants and avian song birds shows striking parallels (1) (Fig. 1). Both species show initial innate predispositions for species-t...
متن کاملIntrasyllabic Patterns in Babbling and Early Speech
Three patterns of intrasyllabic co-occurrence, reflecting putatively fundamental infant production constraints, have been found in phonetic analyses of babbling and first words. They are labial-central (LC), coronal-front (CF), and dorsal-back vowel (DB) intrasyllabic patterns. Evidence of these patterns was sought in three databases; targets for words attempted by eight English learning infant...
متن کاملMolecular diagnostics: parallels between infectious disease and emerging oncology testing.
Evolving molecular techniques used in the clinical laboratory are becoming increasingly important across nearly all fields of medicine. An increased understanding of carcinogenesis and the use of targeted cancer therapies has resulted in a demand for new types of molecular oncology test to help in cancer diagnosis and as tools to predict response to targeted therapeutics for cancer patients. Un...
متن کاملHow social distance shapes human-robot interaction
This paper investigates how social distance can serve as a lens through which we can understand human–robot relationships and develop guidelines for robot design. In two studies, we examine the effects of distance based on physical proximity (proxemic distance), organizational status (power distance), and task structure (task distance) on people's experiences with and perceptions of a humanlike...
