Caregiver interaction, joint attention, imitation, cooperative communication, and reciprocal social grounding.
Research Scope & Objectives
Investigating how language and communication emerge as functional tools for shared agency and social coordination between human caregivers and artificial learners.
Central Open Questions
- Does communicative intent develop more effectively from collaborative physical tasks than passive text modeling?
- How does joint attention facilitate mutual grounding in novel sensory environments?
Associated Experiments
Empirical experiments for this area are under protocol drafting.
