Deferred imitation has long held a privileged position in early cognitive development, considered an early marker of representational thought with links to language development and symbolic processes. Children with autism have difficulties with several abilities generally thought to be related to deferred imitation: immediate imitation, language, and symbolic play. However, few studies have exa...

TanGram, is an original music score composed by Carlos D. Perales for Percussion Quartet and Nintendo Wii Remotes used as a wireless interface for Live Electronics. This paper examines how this composition explores exiting research in interaction and communication between instruments and digital sound processing discourse to produce a unique music mixed-media score, to explore the sonic possibi...

This paper intend to propose a comparative analysis of three major theoretical framework engineers and creative companies frequently use. All of them propose to help users to break psychological walls hiding creative solutions. Beyond the individual preferences and the mimesis effect, studying what is the DNA,

This essay adds to the ongoing dialogue on the literary representation of Caribbean women. It grapples with a range of issues: how has iconic literary representation of the Caribbean woman altered from the inception of Caribbean women’s writing to the present? Given that literary representation was a tool for inscribing otherness and a counter-discursive device for recuperating the self from th...

Suppose imitation becomes easier in developing countries due to international technology diffusion or other reasons. If imitation also occurs in the North, Northern imitators (as well as innovators) would become less secure from low-cost Southern imitations. Does the resulting rise in Southern imitation lead to a decrease in Northern imitation (and perhaps even innovation)? If so, does the over...

Humans and animals use imitation as a mechanism for acquiring knowledge. Recently, several algorithms and models have been proposed for imitation learning in robots and humans. However, few proposals offer a framework for imitation learning in a stochastic environment where the imitator must learn and act under realtime performance constraints. We present a probabilistic framework for imitation...
