| Abstract(in English) | For human infants, agents-defined as other humans-are the fundamental units of their social world. Agents provide very special stimuli to infants. Researchers of object-person differentiation have proposed a set of rules that infants probably use during their interaction with people as opposed to objects. In this paper, I will review investigations into how children understand and detect both human and nonhuman agents and communicate with them. We will start with a definition of mentalizing and summarize the course of its development. I will then introduce a study on infant imitation of a robot's action and a false belief task with robots, proposing a new research domain called "Developmental Cybernetics", which studies the interaction between children and robots. It has been predicted that in ordinary 21st-century households, robotics technology will be as common as refrigerators and dishwashers. Therefore, exploring developmental cybernetics is important. |
