Dear colleagues,<br><br>please consider to contribute to the Special Issue of IEEE TAMD on Microdynamics of Interaction.<br>The deadline is 15 January, next year.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br> Katharina Rohlfing.<br><br>PD Dr. Katharina J. Rohlfing<br>Emergentist Semantics Group<br>Universität Bielefeld, CITEC<br>http://www.cit-ec.de/es<br><br>-----------------<br>IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development Special Issue on Microdynamics of Interaction: Capturing and Modeling Early Social Learning<br><br>Call for Papers<br><br>We solicit papers that show approaches to bridging macro- and micro-level behavioral research on the “social interaction loop” that supports early learning. By “social interaction loop” we mean action sequences during interactions between learners and teachers. There are many unanswered questions about the content and qualities of those interactions. For example, how is the information available to a new learner selected and shaped by a parent or teacher? How do learners display their knowledge or ability, and how do teachers pick up on this information and adapt to it? The phenomena of interest prototypically focus on human infants and parents, but the same questions can be asked about non-human juvenile-adult dyads, or robot learners with human teachers. There are exciting recent efforts to precisely quantify and describe what these reciprocal interactions provide; that is, to specify the events and mechanisms that support social learning and adaptation.<br><br>Contributions can exemplify diverse approaches to studying learning through real-time, contingent, reciprocal interaction (or “co-action”). The focus of manuscripts should be on bridging macro-level (i.e., qualitative; long time-scales) and micro-level (i.e., descriptive, short time-scales) data, analyses, and/or explanations. We encourage a broad range of approaches and phenomena drawn from different disciplines, including but not limited to, anthropology, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, developmental science, ethnography, linguistics, machine learning, neuroscience, robotics, pediatrics, philosophy, psychology). Interested parties are encouraged to contact the editors with questions about the suitability of a manuscript. <br><br>Editors:<br><br>· Gedeon Deák, UCSD, deak@cogsci.ucsd.edu<br><br>· Katharina J. Rohlfing, Bielefeld University, kjr@uni-bielefeld.de<br><br> Two kinds of submissions are possible:<br><br>· Regular papers, up to 15 double column pages, should describe new empirical findings that utilize innovative methodological and/or analytic techniques for extracting structure from rich, high-dimensional behavioral data.<br><br>· Correspondence papers, up to 8 double column pages, can focus on one of three more limited goals:<br><br>1. Modeling: Quantitative methods for explaining the sorts of patterns found in social action loops of teacher-learner interactions. Papers should specify how the model can capture the dynamics described above, and/or ways to test those models using further behavioral and modeling studies.<br><br>2. Methods: Practical explanations of novel tools for collecting, coding, and/or analyzing dyadic interaction data. Papers should describe the kinds of interaction-loops for which the method is appropriate, and should explain what gap-bridging challenge is met by using the method.<br><br>3. Theoretical perspectives into social interaction loops, and the importance of bridging micro- and macro-level explanations. Theoretical essays will preferably incorporate insights and constructs from different disciplines (cognitive science, neurobiology, computational models, machine learning, sociology, and ethnology).<br><br>Instructions for authors:<br><br>http://cis.ieee.org/ieee-transactions-on-autonomous-mental-development.html<br><br>We are accepting submissions through Manuscript Central at<br>http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tamd-ieee (please select “Microdynamics” as the submission type)<br><br>When submitting your manuscript, please also cc it to deak@cogsci.ucsd.edu and kjr@uni-bielefeld.de.<br><br>Timeline:<br><br>15 January 2013: Deadline for paper submission<br><br>15 April 2013: Notification of the first round of review results<br><br>15 July 2013: Final version<br><br>20 July 2013: Electronic publication<br>September 2013: Printed publication
