Making progress toward human-level artificial intelligence often seems to require a large
number of difficult-to-integrate computational methods and enormous amounts of knowledge …

The ability to reason effectively with a large body of knowledge is a cornerstone of human
intelligence. Consequently, the development of efficient, largescale reasoning systems has …

Developmental psychology is ready to blossom into a modern science that focuses on
causal mechanistic explanations of development rather than just describing and classifying …

Abstract The term “Cognitive Architectures” indicates both abstract models of cognition, in
natural and artificial agents, and the software instantiations of such models which are then …

This special issue is based on the premise that in order to achieve human-level artificial
intelligence researchers will have to find ways to integrate insights from multiple …

Abstract The Novamente AI Engine is briefly reviewed. The overall architecture is unique,
drawing on system-theoretic ideas regarding complex mental dynamics and associated …

To build a machine that has" common sense" was once a principal goal in the field of
artificial intelligence. But most researchers in recent years have retreated from that ambitious …

How does a child learn to think about the world, to use mathematical reasoning, to master
the syntactic structure of language or the alphabetic structure of text? To answer these …

At the forefront of research on language are new data demonstrating infants' strategies in the
early acquisition of language. The data show that infants perceptually “map” critical aspects …

This survey presents an overview of the autonomous development of mental capabilities in
computational agents. It does so based on a characterization of cognitive systems as …
