| Abstract(in English) | How can infants acquire the ability to identify his/her articulation of /a/ as the same category of adult articulation of /a/ in spite of differences of acoustic characters during developmental processes of infants. In this paper, we question whether or not the infants can acquire the ability of vocal imitation even if the infants cannot judge the vowels as the same category. We construct an acquisition model of the vocal imitation based on adults' imitative actions instead of the judgments on acoustic characters. We confirmed that the model can acquire a possibility of the vocal imitation both by computer simulation and by interactive experiments with human. As a result, if an infant agent of the model has a purpose of imitation as an internal state, the agent can acquire the ability of the vocal imitation although the adults do not always response with imitative voices. Based on these results, we discuss a possibility of acquisition how the infants can judge vowels as the same category using a similarity of articulatory gestures at the vocal imitation. |
