  text: 'Robots have to deal with an enormous amount of sensory stimuli. One solution
    in making sense of them is to enable a robot system to actively search for cues
    that help structuring the information. Studies with infants reveal that parents
    support the learning-process by modifying their interaction style, dependent on
    their child''s developmental age. In our study, in which parents demonstrated
    everyday actions to their preverbal children (8-11 months old), our aim was to
    identify objective parameters for multimodal action modification. Our results
    reveal two action parameters being modified in adult-child interaction: roundness
    and pace. Furthermore, we found that language has the power to help children structuring
    actions sequences by synchrony and emphasis. These insights are discussed with
    respect to the built-in attention architecture of a socially interactive robot,
    which enables it to understand demonstrated actions. Our algorithmic approach
    towards automatically detecting the task structure in child-designed input demonstrates
    the potential impact of insights from developmental learning on robotics. The
    presented findings pave the way to automatically detect when to imitate in a demonstration'
