text: If they are to learn and interact with humans, robots need to understand actions
and make use of language in social interactions. Hirsh-Pasek and Golinkoff (1996)
have emphasized the use of language to learn actions when introducing the idea
of acoustic packaging in human development. This idea suggests that acoustic information,
typically in the form of narration, overlaps with action sequences, thereby providing
infants with a bottom-up guide to attend to relevant parts and to find structure
within them. The authors developed a computational model of the multimodal interplay
of action and language in tutoring situations. This chapter presents the results
of applying this model to multimodal parent-infant interaction data. Results are
twofold and indicate that (a) infant-directed interaction is more structured than
adult-directed interaction in that it contains more packages, and these packages
have fewer motion segments; and (b) the synchronous structure within infant-directed
packages contains redundant information making it possible to solve the reference
problem when tying color adjectives to a moving object.
