Title:Learning from action observation: the importance of
communication over efficiency
Abstract:Ostensive cues, such as eye-contact or calling the other’s
name are typically used to inform the addressee about our
communicative intention. Furthermore, they can elicit an expectation
of relevance about the communicated information, both in the case of
adults and infants. During observational learning, would this
expectation of relevance induce a bias to preferentially learn the
communicated action demonstration, even at the expense of its observed
efficiency? In my talk, I will present a series of studies testing
whether toddlers and young children learn from their own observation
of efficiency, assessed by statistical information on reliability of
interventions, or from communicatively presented demonstrations, when
these two potential types of evidence are contrasted with each other.
The findings demonstrate that communicative sanctioning of reliability
may override statistical evidence for young learners. Furthermore, our
recent evidence with great apes also suggests that ostensive
demonstration can elicit an expectation of relevance, potentially
leading to a preference to learn from communication, as human children
do.
