The study sheds new light on the nature of imitative learning in 14-month-olds.

The findings support the ‘rational imitation’ account over current ‘imitat...

We introduce a new nonmonotonic logic, the Logic of Plausible Reasoning, LPR, capable of dealing with creative complex reasoning, which is argued to be the kind of reasoning required in many instances of scientific thought, professional practice and common sense decision taking. For managing the simultaneous consideration of multiple scenarios inherent in these activities, two new modalities, w...
