"2525","A lesson from robotics: Modeling infants as autonomous agents","While computational models are playing an increasingly important role in developmental psychology, at least one lesson from robotics is still being learned: modeling epigenetic processes often requires simulating an embodied, autonomous organism. This paper first contrasts prevailing models of infant cognition with an agent-based approach. A series of infant studies by Baillargeon (1986; Baillargeon & DeVos, 1991) is described, and an eye-movement model is then used to simulate infants' visual activity in this study. I conclude by describing three behavioral predictions of the eyemovement model, and discussing the implications of this work for infant cognition research.","http://cogprints.org/2525/","Schlesinger, Matthew","Prince, Christopher G. and Demiris, Yiannis and Marom, Yuval and Kozima, Hideki and Balkenius, Christian","       <span class=\"person_name\">Schlesinger, Matthew</span>     (2002)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/2525/\"><em>A lesson from robotics: Modeling infants as autonomous agents.</em></a>       [Conference Paper]           ","","2002"
