Karl Grammer Ludwig-Boltzmann-Institute for Urban Ethology Department of Anthropology – Faculty of Life Sciences- University of Vienna Althanstrasse 10 A-1090 Vienna / Austria http://evolution.anthro.univie.ac.at/institutes/urbanethology/staff/grammer.html "Embodied communication systems: evolutionary perspectives of feedback in human-machine interactions" In recent years, embodiment has found enormous theoretical attention in language, speech, and communication research in general. Converging insights are accumulating in the cognitive, neurocognitive and evolutionary based behavior research disciplines, which indicate that communication among social partners cannot be reduced to the transfer of abstract information. They reveal shortcomings of 'classic' communication models that emphasize symbolic information transfer, in that they neglect the decisive role of non-symbolic qualities transmitted by the body and especially in face-to-face communication. In this talk I will outline a new evolutionary based dynamic communication model. I will demonstrate this model on the analysis of communicative feedback in dyadic interactions, which refers to unobtrusive (usually short) vocal or bodily expressions whereby a recipient of information can inform a contributor of information about whether he/she is able and willing to communicate, perceive the information, and understand the information. I will identify the issues connected to feedback, present new data and suggest a control architecture for the simulation of feedback in human machine interaction. |
