Psycholinguistic research has shown that the influence of abstract syntactic knowledge on performance is shaped by particular sentences that have been experienced. To explore this idea, the authors applied a connectionist model of sentence production to the development and use of abstract syntax. The model makes use of (a) error-based learning to acquire and adapt sequencing mechanisms and (b) ...

The patient was a 7-year-old child of gypsy origin, with no relevant personal history, who presented with progressively developing, asymptomatic, hyperpigmented lesions, first observed 11 months earlier. The lesions had started to appear on the upper part of the trunk and had shown a centrifugal progression, becoming generalized over the course of a few months. No triggering event was identifie...

This paper presents developmental learning on a humanoid robot from human-robot interactions. We consider in particular teaching humanoids as children during the child’s Separation and Individuation developmental phase (Mahler, 1979). Cognitive development during this phase is characterized both by the child’s dependence on her mother for learning while becoming awareness of her own individuali...

We examine a logic that combines knowledge, awareness, and change of awareness. An agent can become aware of factual propositions but also of other agents or of herself. The dual operation to becoming aware, forgetting, can also be modelled. We show that the logic is decidable, and we present a complete axiomatization.
