TLDR
Cognitive developmental robotics aims to provide new understanding of how human's higher cognitive functions develop by means of a synthetic approach that developmentally constructs cognitive functions through interactions with the environment, including other agents.Abstract:
Cognitive developmental robotics (CDR) aims to provide new understanding of how human's higher cognitive functions develop by means of a synthetic approach that developmentally constructs cognitive functions. The core idea of CDR is ldquophysical embodimentrdquo that enables information structuring through interactions with the environment, including other agents. The idea is shaped based on the hypothesized development model of human cognitive functions from body representation to social behavior. Along with the model, studies of CDR and related works are introduced, and discussion on the model and future issues are argued.read more

Evolving Boolean regulatory networks with epigenetic control.
TL;DR: It is shown how dynamically controlling transcription via a DNA methylation-inspired mechanism can be selected for by simulated evolution under various single and multicellular scenarios and that the effects of such control can be inherited without detriment to fitness.

TL;DR: The paper overviews several deliberative, evolutionary and bio-inspired approaches for such an adaptive action selection mechanism and considers adaptive hardware and software frameworks.

Emergence of eye–hand coordination as a creative process in an artificial developmental agent:
TL;DR: This work gives an agent a hand so it can detect the presence and features of an object in its environment and lets it perform in different contexts, and analyzes how new knowledge structures results from prior experiences and interactions with the environment.

Effect Regulated Projection of Robot’s Action Space for Production and Prediction of Manipulation Primitives Through Learning Progress and Predictability-Based Exploration
TL;DR: An effective action parameter exploration mechanism that enables efficient discovery of robot actions through interacting with objects in a simulated table-top environment is proposed and the reasons behind the earlier development of grasp compared to push action in infants are suggested.

Augmenting the NEAT algorithm to improve its temporal processing capabilities
TL;DR: This paper describes a new implementation of the NEAT algorithm where trainable synaptic time delays are incorporated into its toolbox and is shown to improve the behavior of neural networks obtained using NEAT in many instances.

A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward
TL;DR: Findings in this work indicate that dopaminergic neurons in the primate whose fluctuating output apparently signals changes or errors in the predictions of future salient and rewarding events can be understood through quantitative theories of adaptive optimizing control.

The Attention System of the Human Brain
TL;DR: Illustration de trois fonctions principales qui sont predominantes dans l'etude de l'intervention de l'sattention dans les processus cognitifs: 1) orientation vers des evenements sensoriels; 2) detection des signaux par processus focal; 3) maintenir la vigilance en etat d'alerte

The construction of reality in the child
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a distinction between simple temporal displacements in extension due to the repetition of primitive processes on the occasion of new problems analogous to old ones, and the temporal displacement in comprehension due to a transition from one plane of activity to another; that is, from the plane of action to that of representation.

Statistical Learning by 8-Month-Old Infants
TL;DR: The present study shows that a fundamental task of language acquisition, segmentation of words from fluent speech, can be accomplished by 8-month-old infants based solely on the statistical relationships between neighboring speech sounds.

Rhythms of the brain
TL;DR: The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.
