Robots That Say “No” Affective Symbol Grounding and the Case of Intent Interpretations

Abstract: Modern theories on early child language acquisition tend to focus on referential words, mostly nouns, labeling concrete objects, or physical properties. In this experimental proof-ofconcept study, we show how nonreferential negation words, typically belonging to a child's first ten words, may be acquired. A childlike humanoid robot is deployed in speech-wise unconstrained interaction with naïve human participants. In agreement with psycholinguistic observations, we corroborate the hypothesis that affect plays … Show more

“…Given our focus on negation, we were particularly interested in the negative variant of intent interpretations, that is intent interpretatios with respect to displays of negative affect or motivation. As described in Förster et al [14] the effect of the robot's affective displays on participants' speech was remarkable, and did confirm the potential of intent interpretations as source for negation words. We use the results of the rejection experiment within the present article as point of reference to assess the comparative efficacy of the prohibition task in terms of the acquisition of negation words.…”

“…As mentioned earlier, the prohibition experiment was designed in close alignment with the rejection experiment [14]. The robot's behavior developed for the rejection experiment formed the baseline behavior for the rejective scenario of the prohibition experiment ( Figure 2).…”
