--- abstract: | This Thesis presents a model of cognitive development inspired by Piaget's "Genetic Epistemology". It is observed that the epigenetic process described by Piaget posess mechanisms and behaviour that characterise complex adaptive systems. A model of bipedal motion based around the "Bucket Brigade" algorithm of Holland is presened to explore this relationship. altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - 6406 creators_name: - family: Osborne given: G honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1995-08 date_type: published datestamp: 2006-05-25 department: Physics dir: disk0/00/00/48/88 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4888 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4888/1/osborne.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: University of Cambridge isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Piaget, complex adaptive system, bucket brigade, hyperstructure, scheme' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:26 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: http://cogprints.org/4650/ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 17:03:21 subjects: - comp-sci-mach-dynam-sys - dev-psy - comp-sci-mach-learn succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: MPhil title: The Cognitive Mechanisms Guiding Psychological Development type: thesis userid: 6406 volume: ~
