Humans communicate using language, but they also communicate using gesture - spontaneous movements of the hands and body that universally accompany speech. Gestures can be distinguished from other movements, segmented, and assigned meaning based on their forms and functions. Moreover, gestures systematically integrate with language at all levels of linguistic structure, as evidenced in both pro...

In this paper, we outline a cognitive architecture for communicators, called the BIC model. The model consist of three main components. First, a (B)iological component, in which the genetic or built-in capacities of the communicator are specified. Second, an (I)nteraction Engine which uses neoGricean mutual simulation to attribute communicative intentions to signals, and to create signals to co...

9 Humans routinely communicate to coordinate their activities, persisting and elaborating 10 signals to pursue goals that cannot be accomplished individually.

This study endeavors to complement the theory of anthropogenesis worked out by Michael Tomasello and his colleagues with a theory of cultural development, entitled CCCD (communicative and cognitive cultural development) theory. In the paper both the structure of this theory and its theoretical underpinnings and empirical evidence are outlined. Four levels of cognitive development in CCCD are ma...

Human communication involves a number of verbal, vocal, and non-verbal cues that facilitate face-to-face communication. Building a computational understanding of how these cues facilitate social and cognitive processes enables new research directions in social and cognitive sciences and the design of socially interactive systems such as agents and robots. In this paper, we present preliminary w...
