Abstract

Seemingly teachable toys. The term 'toys' includes toy characters (10) embodied in three-dimensional tangible form and those only visually seen and/or acoustically heard (e.g. a cartoon character in a video game or a voice heard over the phone). Illustrated embodiments involve toys that appear to progressively learn to use a word. The toys may initially speak or display protowords related to the character but not to the word. When a predetermined criterion is satisfied, such as a certain number of repetitions of the word being recognized, the toy may add to its output metawords that are related to the word. When a further criterion is achieved, the toy may add the word to its output. Similarly, the teachable toy may also learn to say phrases, sentences, and even carry on an apparently intelligent conversation.
