项目摘要

In this research project, mechanism of mindreading system was investigated. We added the perspective of cognitive developmental robotics to comparative cognitive science in which usually the subjects were human and nonhuman primates or other animal. At first, we focused on visual attention shift in human infants, human adults, and chimpanzees. The deictic cue such as face like line drawing, photograph of face, was presented on the computer screen or card board and subjects' eye movement was observed. We found that even human infants and chimpanzees showed automatically attention shift as well as human adults. We concluded this kind of basic mechanism underlie in joint visual attention, that is higher order social cognitive ability. We also used "an arrow" as a deictic stimulus, and found it is very effective for visual attention shift. We had an hypothesis that asymmetry stimulus is effective in attention shift, and carried out the experiment. Asymmetry stimuli were seemed to be effective to induce visual attention shift. That is reasonable, because eye movement or orientation of human face are asymmetry. In humanoid robot, we conducted the experiment for imitation of human action.We carried out the experiments from the point of view of understanding of other's knowledge. Participants were 3, 4, 5, and 6-year-olds. Usually 3-year-olds cannot understand the association between seeing and knowing. However, we found that even 3-year-olds understand the person who have a knowledge acquired through the interaction by observing interaction between the experimenters.

在该研究项目中，研究了思维系统的机制。我们将认知发展机器人技术的观点添加到了比较认知科学中，其中通常受试者是人类和非人类灵长类动物或其他动物。最初，我们专注于人类婴儿，人类成年人和黑猩猩的视觉注意力转移。在计算机屏幕或卡板上呈现了诸如线绘制的脸部图像，诸如脸部绘图，脸部照片，并观察到受试者的眼动。我们发现，即使是人类和黑猩猩，也会自动显示出注意力转移以及人类成年人。我们得出结论，这种基本的基本机制是共同视觉关注的基础，即更高阶段的社会认知能力。我们还将“箭头”用作一种刺激，发现它对于视觉注意力转移非常有效。我们的假设是，不对称刺激在注意力转移方面有效，并进行了实验。不对称刺激似乎有效诱导视觉注意力转移。这是合理的，因为人脸的眼动或方向是不对称的。在人形机器人中，我们进行了模仿人类作用的实验。我们从对他人知识的理解的角度进行了实验。参与者是3、4、5和6岁。通常，3岁的孩子无法理解看见与认识之间的关联。但是，我们发现，即使是3岁的人，也可以通过观察实验者之间的互动来了解通过互动获得的知识的人。
