Children take their first steps, speak their first words, and learn to solve many new problems seemingly overnight. Yet, each change reflects previous developments in the child across a …
In this chapter, we discuss how perception and action are intimately linked to the processes of exploration and selection. Exploration, which we define as trying several variations of the …
The agent-based approach emphasizes the importance of learning through organism- environment interaction. This approach is part of a recent trend in computational models of …
In this paper, we review current knowledge on tool use development in infants in order to provide relevant information to cognitive developmental roboticists seeking to design …
The effects of 2 weeks of no, general, and task‐related enhanced movement experiences on 8‐to 12‐week‐old infants'(N= 30) hand and foot interactions with objects were assessed …
The effects of “sticky” and “non-sticky” mittens upon the progression of intentional reaching were examined over 16-day training in 24 non-reaching infants aged 2 months and 21 days …

This paper considers the role of shaping in applications of reinforcement learning, and proposes a formulation of shaping as a homotopy-continuation method. By considering …
Prior research on infant reaching has shown that providing infants with repeated opportunities to reach for objects aids the emergence and progression of reaching behavior …
Humans and animals undergo morphological development (MD) processes from infancy to adulthood that have been shown to facilitate learning. However, most of the work on …
