....the sign of higher intelligence and therefore not critical to development. This prejudice slowly faded with the arrival of several studies by Meltzoff and Moore that indicated infants ability to perform facial manual gesture imitation from ages 12 21 days old and in some cases at an hour old [130] [131] 132] 133] Imitative learning began to be seen as an almost innate mechanism to help the development of humans and certain species [192] Furthermore, it was demonstrated to be absent in other, lower order animals [191] or very limited in others [190] In addition, through recent ....

....voice. This is different from what parrots do. These do not demodulate speech, but they attempt to copy speech signals with the organic and expressive qualities preserved together with the linguistic. In humans, a capability of imitating oral and manual gestures is present already in neonates [4]. This tells us that there is an innate linkage between visual perception and motor control (one of those shown in in Figure 1) There is at least a rudimentary capability of demodulating visually perceived gestures and translating them into the motor commands that are required in order to ....

....underlying learning by imitation in neural, computational, psychological, and social terms. In spite of the complexity of imitative behavior, there are data (still somewhat controversial) supporting the claim that even soon after birth human infants can imitate facial and some manual gestures (Meltzoff Moore, 1977). However, it is important to stress that there may be different mirror mechanisms for different acts, and that imitation for grasping requires months to develop. Smiling is probably an innate releasing mechanism for smiling (whether the infant smiles at the parent or the parent smiles at the ....

....constantly fine tuned. We may call a system of this kind a parametrized motor pattern. Another example can be found in the imitation behaviour of newborn childs. Almost immediately after birth, a child will imitate a number of facial gestures such as sticking the tongue out or opening the mouth (Melzoff and Moore 1977). While this phenomenon is often referred to as a very early ability to transform a visual cue to motor control it may as well be governed by something very similar to a sign stimulus. In either case, this ability develops over the years into something much more complex and is thus another example ....

....(Abernethy 1990, Elkins 1996, Savelsbergh, Whiting, Pijpers van Santvoord 1993, Savelsvertgh Bootsma 1994) Several decades of developmental psychology work in infant imitation, conducted by Meltzoff 3 and Moore, also actively support sensory motor integration as the basis of imitation. Meltzoff Moore (1988) and Meltzoff Moore (1983) argue that imitation is a fundamental human capability, found in newborns and based on an innate link between the perceptual and motor systems (Meltzoff Moore 1994) This link enables young children to imitate facial expressions and hand movements without visual ....

....never hears a verb in association with someone else s action rather than his own. But it has been shown that the own action case is indeed the most frequent (Tomasello 1992) Furthermore, there is impressive evidence that even neonates can map others actions onto their own motor control system (Meltzoff Moore 1977), so even for the other s action case, the language learning child may be inclined to consider motor parameters as the primary semantic component. Another simplification in our task is the pre selection of the time window of activity labelled by the verb. This is done to simplify the problem, but ....

.... 1979) Tronick et al. 1979) During face to face exchanges with an adult, infants around 5 months of age show imitative accomodation to the pitch and duration of sounds, facial expressions, and various gestures such as tongue protrusion, mouth opening, and hand opening (Trevarthen 1979) (Meltzo# Moore 1977). The perception of human sounds is acute in very young infants, and speech is reacted to with particular interest. In particular, the pitch characteristics of human voices are preferred to non voice sounds (Trevarthen 1979) Even the mother s individual voice or manner of speaking is preferred ....

....Specifically they note that newborns exhibit facial expressions closely similar to those of adults for the emotions of pleasure, displeasure, fear, surprise, confusion and interest. A more controversial finding is that infants are born with the ability to mimic the facial expressions of adults (Meltzo# Moore 1977), as well as adult vocalizations (Bullowa 1979) 13.6.2 Sensorimotor Influences of Emotions Along a di#erent line of research, the role of facial expression in activating and regulating emotional experience (i.e. emotion feeling state) remains controversial. However several studies o#er evidence ....

.... and its evolution and relation to other forms of learning are being explored [54, 53] The issue of sensorimotor integration in imitation, addressed here, is also a key focus of Meltzoff and Moore s work, which proposes the idea that imitation is a fundamental human capability, found in newborns [48, 47], and based on an innate link between the perceptual and motor systems [49] This link enables young children to imitate facial expressions and hand movements without visual feedback. The authors hypothesize supramodal representations of human movements and postures as a part of the innate ....

....as the articulatory dimensions (see above) The word acoustic is quoted above because, although sound is certainly the primary perceptual proprioceptive domain of speech, oral dimensions such as jaw openness also play a role. For example, newborns pay special attention to certain mouth posturings (Meltzoff Moore, 1977), and three to four month old infants are aware of the relation between certain facial and vocal activities (see Locke, 1995, for review) We incorporated the role of visual perception proprioception by including a visual dimension of jaw openness in our acoustic representation. In fact, our ....
