数十年的研究使我们在理解影响语言习得的许多因素方面取得了长足的进步。然而，虽然大量的实证研究已经描述了儿童语言学习行为（从言语前到句法）的特征，但直到最近，研究人员还无法明确测试发展机制。然而，计算模型的进步，特别是发育机器人学的进步，使研究人员能够实施和测试发育理论，明确指定在语言发展过程中假设发挥作用的知识和认知计算。本章回顾了语言发展早期阶段的一系列发展机器人模型，说明了（a）跨学科合作对未来理论发展的重要性，以及（b）一种新兴的语言习得新观点，其中非语言输入以及语言输入驱动语言发展。
Decades of research have brought us a long way in understanding the many factors that affect language acquisition. However, while a wealth of empirical studies have characterised children’s language learning behaviours, from pre-speech to syntax, until relatively recently researchers have been unable to explicitly test developmental mechanisms. However, advances in computational modelling and in particular in developmental robotics have allowed researchers to implement and test developmental theories, specifying explicitly the knowledge and cognitive computations assumed to be at play during language development. The current chapter reviews a series of developmental robotics models of the early stages of language development, illustrating (a) the importance for future theory development of cross-disciplinary collaboration and (b) an emerging new view of language acquisition in which nonlinguistic–as well as linguistic–input drives language development.
