abstract: |-
  Human infants seem to develop to acquire
  common phonemes to adults without the capability
  to articulate or any explicit knowledge.
  To understand such unrevealed human
  cognitive development, building a robot
  which reproduces such a developmental process
  seems effective. It will also contribute to
  a design principle for a robot that can communicate
  with human beings. This paper hypothesizes
  that the caregiver’s parrotry to the
  coo of the robot plays an important role in the
  phoneme acquisition process based on the implication
  from behavioral studies, and propose
  a constructive model for it. We validate the
  proposed model by examining whether a real
  robot can acquire Japanese vowels through interactions
  with its caregiver.
