This study is the first to provide an integrated view on the body of knowledge of artificial
intelligence (AI) published in the marketing, consumer research, and psychology literature …

What are the processes, from conception to adulthood, that enable a single cell to grow into
a sentient adult? The processes that occur along the way are so complex that any attempt to …

This manuscript surveys computational modeling efforts by researchers in developmental
psychology. Developmental psychology is ready to blossom into a modern science that …

Neuroconstructivism: How the Brain Constructs Cognition proposes a unifying framework for
the study of cognitive development that brings together (1) constructivism (which views …

Background During active (or REM) sleep, infant mammals exhibit myoclonic twitches of
skeletal muscles throughout the body, generating jerky, discrete movements of the distal …

Current models of psychological development rely heavily on connectionist models that use
supervised learning. These models adapt network weights when the network output does …

Autonomous robots are used more and more in remote and inaccessible places where they
cannot be easily repaired if damaged or improperly programmed. A system is needed that …

Does modeling matter? We address this question by providing a broad survey of the
computational models of cognitive development that have been proposed and studied over …

We present a neurorobotic model that develops reaching and grasping skills analogous to
those displayed by infants during their early developmental stages. The learning process is …
