Abstract concept formation allows animals to group stimuli based on relationships (e.g. sameness/difference) rather than stimulus-specific qualities. Studies in this field have focused primates and birds, but there is growing interest the capabilities of a wider range species gain an understanding differences cognitive abilities across taxa ecological requirements. This review concentrates abst...

Abstract Purpose of Review Understanding and manipulating abstract concepts is a fundamental characteristic human intelligence that currently missing in artificial agents. Without it, the ability these robots to interact socially with humans while performing their tasks would be hindered. However, what needed empower our such capability? In this article, we discuss some recent attempts on cogni...

The aim of this paper is to alter the abstract definition of the program of the theoretical programming model which has been developed at Eötvös Loránd University for many years in order to investigate methods that support designing correct programs. The motivation of this modification was that the dynamic properties of programs appear in the model. This new definition of the program gives a ha...
