An information processing method and an information processing apparatus in which the learning efficiency may be improved and the scale may be extended readily. An integrated module 42 is formed by a movement pattern learning module by a local expression scheme. The local modules 43-1 to 43-3 of the integrated module 42 are each formed by a recurrent neural network as a movement pattern learning model by a distributed expression scheme. The local modules 43-1 to 43-3 are caused to learn plural movement patterns. Outputs from the local modules 43-1 to 43-3, supplied with preset parameters, as inputs, are multiplied by gates 44-1 to 44-3 with coefficients W1 to W3, respectively, and the resulting products are summed together and output.
