Event overview
The Whitehead Lectures in Cognition, Computation and Culture - Autumn 2014
Wednesday 3rd December, 2014 - RHB 137a, 4pm
Speaker
Antonia Hamilton
Abstract:
Copying is a ubiquitous human behaviour which provides a useful model of nonverbal social interaction. Though copying is easy to recognise, the cognitive processing underlying copying is very complex.
Antonia Hamilton will describe studies of when and why people chose to copy some actions but not others. This includes studies of children, adults and people with autism. Differences in copying behaviour between these groups give us important insight into the mechanisms of selective imitation. She will present new data on how people imitate and recognise imitation in virtual reality, and will consider how human-avatar interactions can help in the study of social neuroscience.
