Running head: The nature and transfer of cognitive skills The Nature and Transfer of Cognitive Skills
This paper presents the Primitive Elements theory of cognitive skills. The central idea is that skills are broken down into primitive information processing elements that move and compare single pieces of information regardless of the specific content of this information. Several of these primitive elements are necessary for even a single step in a task. A learning process therefore combines th...
متن کاملStructural Transfer of Cognitive Skills
This paper investigates a computational approach to transfer: the ability to use previously learned knowledge on related but distinct tasks. We study transfer in the context of an agent architecture, Icarus, and we claim that many forms of transfer follow automatically from its use of structured concepts and skills. We show that Icarus can acquire structured representations from domain experien...

متن کاملTransfer of Cognitive Skills in Developmental Tasks
The main question we try to answer in this paper is whether stage-like progression in cognitive development can be explained by transfer of cognitive skill among tasks. We focus on the following question: To what extent does training on one task improve the performance on another task? The tasks are Piaget’s (1959) Balance Scale Task and Number Conservation Task, and a task that we will call th...
متن کاملMonkeys and apes: are their cognitive skills really so different?
Differences in cognitive skills across taxa, and between monkeys and apes in particular, have been explained by different hypotheses, although these often are not supported by systematic interspecific comparisons. Here, we directly compared the cognitive performance of the four great apes and three monkey species (spider monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and long-tailed macaques), differing in their p...
