We propose a computational model of the emergence of gaze following skills in infant–
caregiver interactions. The model is based on the idea that infants learn that monitoring their …

Gaze following is the ability to redirect one's gaze to the location where another agent is
looking. We present a computational model of how human infants or other agents may …

Following eye gaze is fundamental for many social‐cognitive abilities, for example, when
judging what another agent can or cannot know. While the emergence of gaze following has …

To realize natural human-robot interactions and investigate the developmental mechanism
of human communication, an effective approach is to construct models by which a robot …

Gaze following, the ability to redirect one's visual attention to look at what another person is
seeing, is foundational for imitation, word learning, and theory-of-mind. Previous theories …

The ability to imitate others enables human infants to acquire various social and cognitive
capabilities. Joint attention is regarded as a behavior that can be derived from imitation. In …

We present a reinforcement learning model of gaze following that learns to incorporate eye
cues in a developmental trajectory similar to that found in infants: older infants follow gaze …

Sociable robots are embodied agents that are part of a heterogeneous society of robots and
humans. They should be able to recognize human beings and each other, and to engage in …

This paper presents a computational model of the emergence of gaze following based on
reinforcement learning. The model replicates the development of gaze following in human …

We present a virtual reality platform for develo** and evaluating embodied models of
cognitive development. The platform facilitates structuring of the learning agent, of its visual …
