چکیده

Motor primitive is one of the keys for human behavior generation and motor control with enormous degree of freedom of human body. Our purpose in this paper is to present a cognitive developmental scenario of motor primitives acquisition from the interaction between the body and the surrounding environments with cognitive properties of infants. The hypothesized scenario is that (1) infants explore their own body and environments, (2) categorize stable perceptual states extracted from sensory information, (3) memorize transitional movements between the states, and (4) make brief representation of each transitional movement as motor primitive. We have conducted an infant musculoskeletal computer simulation experiment to examine this scenario. Our result is that stable states, which are provided within the body and the environment dynamics, are detected from probability distribution of sensory data with the exploration. Transitional movements are found for the exploration, and brief motor commands are extracted by a statistical analysis. The extracted motor commands can realize the respective movements. We conclude that the scenario is validated from perspective of computational possibility.

Effects of cognitive functions on feedback request strategy and learning of a perceptual motor task

Taking individuals' cognitive abilities into consideration can play an important role in the initial stages of learning motor skills. So, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive functions on feedback request strategy and learning of a perceptual motor task. A number of 60 university male students with a mean age of 22/4 years (SD = 1/99) were selected through...

The Organization of Cortex-Ganglia-Thalamus to Generate Movements From Motor Primitives: a Model for Developmental Robotics

The advent of humanoid robots has posed new challenges and opportunities to control complex movements; their bodies have an high number of degrees of freedom, and methods used up to now to control them are no longer efficient. The purpose of this work is to create a system that could approach these challenges. We present a bioinspired model of the cortex-basal ganglia circuit for movement gener...

Language development and acquisition in children

Language acquisition is a natural developmental process and is unique to Homo sapiens in which a child acquiring his or her mother tongue as a first language.  The simplest theory of language development is that children learn language by imitating adult language. A second possibility is that children acquire language through conditioning. Noam Chomsky put forward innateness hypothesis. Piaget ...
