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 individuality, and by self-exploration of her physical surroundings. We propose a learning framework for a humanoid robot inspired on such cognitive development. date: 2004 date_type: published volume: 117 publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies pagerange: 19-26 refereed: TRUE citation: Arsenio, Artur (2004) Children, Humanoid Robots and Caregivers.
